International trade often includes higher risks than domestic trade. The risks could be geopolitical, regulatory, commercial, environmental, and financial, among others. The trade parties also have other requirements and demands they need to manage during their supply chain. The goals might be different, for example faster payment versus extended payment terms, requiring multiple collaterals and financing solution.
