suhas krishna: Forex hedging is also one method where risk of fluctuation can be minimised.

VENKATACHARI SRINIVASAN : I visited website " howtoexportimport.com" and found the contents of the site interesting and also extremely useful. I'm working in an engineering/manufacturing organization. We have an export order for supplies of engineering products. For the mfr of the export goods we applied and obtained advance license ( for duty free imports of raw materials). The export obligation under the license is denominated in US$. However the contract for exports is denominated in US$/JPY/Euro/INR. As the commercial invoice for realizing proceeds of exports would in the contract currencies as stated above how will the shipping bill be prepared indicating the value of exports in equivalent US$ if the unit rate and item value is combination of multiple currencies such as US$/JPY/Euro/INR. More over the shipping bills would be of the draw back type applicable for obtaining drawback. In this case can the shipping bill be filed in manual mode instead EDI. If the shipping bill value could be in equivalent INR how will the currencies in the invoice converted in equivalent US$.
