In addition, the SHOSHA have recently taken a positive approach to the e-market place to enable them to realize optimum procurement and sales on a global basis. In advancing business transactions, the SHOSHA actively provide customers with attractive services, including (1) logistics (land transportation, ocean freight, customs clearance, processing and inventory management), (2) financing (procuring funding, fund management, transaction settlement and foreign exchange), (3) insurance arrangements (marine insurance, export/import insurance and fire/casualty insurance) and (4) legal consulting and credit management. Incidentally, the SHOSHA’s business is classified (1) by type of trade; as domestic, export, import and offshore transactions and (2) simply by type of contract, as in spot trading and future trading contracts. In all of the above services and transactions, the SHOSHA make full use of a wide range of know-how and expertise acquired over the years in carrying out their trading and other business activities.
