Export Credit vs International Credit
If there is a distinction between Export Credit and International Credit, it is that Export Credit primarily relates from sales at a home based country to another country. For example, product is sold from the U.S.A. to Brazil.
The goods for sale might be sourced from within the U.S.A. and other countries which change the dynamics of working capital and foreign exchange management. International credit goes beyond the scope of an export credit transaction. This aspect of credit management deals with domestic and export credit sales at other countries outside the home country of the credit professional. For example, a subsidiary of a U.S. based company in another country might sell product within its country (a domestic sale) or even export product to a third country.
