Import/Export Management & Global Trade
Export management is a complex job. Making sure that all the bases are covered is crucial to getting your company off the ground successfully and avoiding expensive exporting mistakes. HCI’s proven methodologies allow its clients to achieve attractive long-term sales and earnings with far fewer upfront costs than you would incur going it alone.
To insure reliability, HCI’s team depends on the use of dozens of Checklists and Action Plans developed by our staff to serve numerous industries around the world.
HCI and its forerunner, Henderson Chemicals, have acted as Project Managers, Agents, Consultants or Export Managers for over forty leading U.S. and foreign companies, including Airco, Akzo Chemie, Bayer, Exxon, Harshaw, ICI, Monsanto, and Sherwin Williams.
HCI’s international team of experts provides import and export guidance, global logistics, and on-site training tailored to your business needs. As either an Export Management Company (EMC) or Import Management Company (IMC), HCI acts as an export or import division for its clients. HCI’s global strategies are bottom-line oriented and practical, developed through over thirty years of “in the trenches” experience.
