   The U.S. Commerce Department’s International Trade Administration will release the third edition of its Trade Finance Guide: A Quick Reference for U.S. Exporters at the Finance, Credit and International Business Association (FCIB)’s 23rd Annual Global Conference in Philadelphia Tuesday.
   The guide is designed to be a 60-minute workbook covering the things exporters need to know about how to get paid from export sales. An estimated 300,000 copies have been distributed to the public since the release of its first edition in 2007.
