3. I have received an order from an export house, who specify what I must use aligned SITPRO export documents. What are these, where do I get them and what are their advantages?
The subject is covered in the general section, pp. 7-8 of the current issue. The complete range of aligned documents, designed by SITPRO in accordance with international standards, may be obtained from Tate Freight Forms Ltd. The principle is that all the information required for an export consignment is either entered on a single-sheet master document from which all the others are produced by using a photocopying process or using a desktop computer with suitable software so that the data for the master document is entered on screen and the documents required are printed out from it. If you use a laser printer, you can print nearly all documents on plain paper; otherwise, you will need printed forms. For a one-off order of course you could just type the information directly on the individual documents, but you would do far better to adopt the system for all your export business: the advantages are major savings in time and cost with complete accuracy of all documents made from a correct master. Further information may be had from any SITPRO-approved distributor or software house: addresses from advertisements in the export press or from SITPRO, Oxford House, 8th Floor, 76 Oxford Street, London W1D 1BS, tel: 0207 467 7280, fax: 0207 467 7295, website

. The system is simple to use and once you have it you will be well-placed to exploit further advances in cheaper and faster production and transmission of trade documents.
