Strange questions in brokerage:
May. 2nd, 2012 06:42 pmOne of the eternal questions in international trade is 'Are the buyer and seller of these goods related to one another?'
It's a good question -- it helps determine whether or not you can use the primary method of determining the value of a good... the transaction value.
But sometimes it's results in the darnedest things.
Today I saw a note that solemnly informed me that the Royal Canadian Mint is not related to a variety of U. S. companies.
It made me laugh as saying that the Royal Canadian Mint is not related to, say, Dunkin' Donuts, is rather like saying the U. S. Department of the Treasury isn't related to Tim Horton's. Um. Duh?
