Introduction
The following tool provides a list of the most common business entities worldwide. It is not intended to be exhaustive of all enterprises. Nonprofit enterprises and informal associations are generally not included, unless they are in common use among traders. Emphasis has been given to private enterprises, rather than government or civil enterprises.
The detailed legal requirements for enterprises are complex and differ from country to country. Moreover, the usually have little meaning within a general definition or comparison of enterprises. The following definitions include some of these details for the purposes of giving a general idea of the relative size and complexity of the enterprises, but it is beyond the scope of this work to list and explain every legal nuance, and exception to the exception. For more detailed information, advice should be sought from legal counsel in the relevant country. Another source is the "Martindale-Hubbell International Law Guide."
In many countries, the words "company", "association”, and "venture" have special meanings, and therefore the word :enterprise” has been used as a generic term for the concept of a group of persons who join together for the purposes of conducting business for profit. Similarly, the word "incorporate" in many countries refers to the procedure for registration of a business, even a partnership; therefore usage of this word has been avoided.
Note: Several definitions are useful at this time:
corporate person
An enterprise whether incorporated or not.entity
An individual or an enterprise, having an organizational presence separate from the owner, recognized by law as having rights and obligations.natural person
An individual.joint liability
Liability for the obligation of an enterprise imposed on two or more owners of an enterprise.person
An individual or legal entity recognized under law as having legal rights and obligations.share or stock
An ownership interest in an enterprise. Stock usually refers to an ownership interest evidenced by a formal document issued by the enterprise. Share has a broader meaning in that it can describe a formal interest (such as a stock) as well as a less formal interest such as in a partnership. Shares can have different characteristics depending upon the type of enterprise and country of the enterprise. For example: shares can be of equal or unequal value, be voting or non-voting, or can convey limited or unlimited liability for its owner(s).several liability
Liability for the full obligations of an enterprise imposed on a single owner when other owners cannot or do not pay. -

Introduction
- This tool lists more than 10,000 three-letter IATA (International Air Transport Association) codes and their respective locations.
- IATA codes are primarily used to identify airports, but are also used to identify transshipment, pick-up and delivery locations; cities; bus and train stations; as well as harbors and ports.
- Approximately ten percent of these locations are major international airports. The balance are municipal and smaller airfields and other locations.
- Locations in the U.S., Canada, and Australia generally have a two-letter stated or province notation (e.g., CA for California).
- Global location codes are added, re-assigned, or deleted at the rate of ten to twelve per month. This list is current as of April 2014.
- For the most up-to-date information, refer to www.iata.org.

Security is a very broad field. Up until the mid 1970s, security was primarily concerned with loss prevention (from a logistics and retail perspective), labor unrest and military issues. Since that time, data security, cyber security, industrial espionage, and terrorism have become the hot new issues facing companies and governments alike.
A comprehensive listing of security terms would fill an entire reference book. The emphasis of this glossary is to introduce the international trade and logistics reader to a sampling of key terms used primarily in supply chain management and data security.

It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called "Specially Designated Nationals" or "SDNs." Their assets are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them.
