    Glossary

    1
    Export-oriented enterprise
    A company that plans a share of its sales in foreign markets and aligns product certification, pricing and logistics with target-country rules. At this Rostov-on-Don export forum, such companies compare support measures and partner offers for entering new markets.
    2
    Non-primary exports
    Exports beyond raw materials and primary commodities, including manufactured goods, food products, machinery, IT services and engineering. Regional export forums often track non-primary exports as a measure of diversification and higher value added.
    3
    Export contract
    The written agreement between a seller and a foreign buyer that sets delivery terms, payment currency, Incoterms, quality requirements and dispute resolution. Legal and customs sessions at the forum typically address contract structuring for first-time exporters.
    4
    Incoterms 2020
    Standard international delivery terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce, such as FCA, FOB, CIF and DAP. They define who pays freight, insurance and customs clearance, and are a frequent practical topic for exporters negotiating with new distributors.
    5
    Customs declaration
    The electronic or paper filing that describes goods, value, origin and customs procedure for import or export. Exporters at the forum can compare broker services and in-house declaration workflows for the Eurasian Economic Union and other destinations.
    6
    Certificate of origin
    A document confirming where goods were produced, often required for preferential tariffs or buyer compliance. Export support centres at regional forums advise on issuing chamber-of-commerce certificates and on rules of origin for specific product groups.
    7
    B2B matchmaking
    Pre-scheduled meetings between exporters and potential foreign buyers, distributors or service providers, usually organised around product categories. At this forum, matchmaking is a practical way to test market interest before committing to a full export plan.
    8
    Business mission
    A short organised visit by a group of companies to a target market, often combining site visits, buyer meetings and regulatory briefings. Trade missions are often announced alongside export forums as a follow-up step for companies that want deeper market entry.
    9
    Logistics corridor
    A defined route and set of transport, warehousing and customs services linking production regions to border crossings or ports. Rostov-on-Don's position near the Don and Azov Sea corridors makes corridor planning a recurring theme for grain, machinery and containerised cargo.
    10
    Foreign trade turnover
    The total value of exports and imports for a company, region or country over a period. Export forums use the indicator to frame regional performance, but individual companies should track their own market mix and currency exposure.
    11
    Export control
    Rules that restrict or license the export of certain goods, technologies or dual-use items. Companies in machinery, chemicals and technology should check whether their products fall under national or multilateral export-control lists before signing contracts.
    12
    Trade representation
    An overseas office or representative that supports a company's sales, marketing and compliance in a target country. Export support programmes sometimes co-finance trade representation for small and mid-sized manufacturers.
