A How-To Guide to International Travel for Work
Passports
Most importers and exporters will need to travel international and will probably need a passport. The best thing to do is get a passport right away and keep it updated just in case travel is needed. Remember a passport, a passport card, enhanced driver's license, or trusted traveler program card are required by U.S. citizens returning home from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean or Bermuda, by land or sea. Traveling anywhere else, it would be best to have a passport.
Book in Advance
Travel discounts are available for those who book in advance over the web. Priceline.com, Expedia.com and Orbitz.com are great ways to book trips and save money. Hotels and airline websites also add discounts and convenience to international travel.
International contacts can help price shop and give first-hand recommendations on accommodations.
Arrive Early
You can expect to be searched as a security precaution while traveling. You can also expect delays. It is wise to familiarize yourself with regulations for travel both domestically and abroad. If you know there may be delays going through security or lines, you can relieve yourself of stress by arriving to your departure location early. It is best to arrive early and be processed than having the stress of running late. Remember most airports offer Wi-Fi connections so time can be productive while waiting flights.
International Contacts
International contacts can be used for travel recommendations and for help booking travel plans. They can also be used for airport pickup. International contacts can help with translations and other services as well.
