International trade is a kind of transnational commodity sales. Due to the particularity of this transnational transaction and the fact that the buyers and sellers are located in different countries and far apart, in most cases, goods and payment cannot be simply exchanged directly, but only documents can be used as the medium of exchange. The principle of convection between documents and payment for goods has become the general principle of commodity trading in international trade. As Mitov, an international trade expert, said in his book Export Trade: "From a commercial point of view, it can be said that the purpose of CIF contract is not the sale of goods themselves, but the sale of documents related to goods."

From the national level, international trade documents, as a kind of foreign-related business and legal documents, reflect a country's foreign trade policy, reflect a country's foreign trade-related laws, regulations and rules, involve bilateral or multilateral trade agreements between a big country and other countries, and are related to the relevant rules of international organizations that must be observed as member countries.

If there is an error in document management, the buyer will refuse to pay for the goods and delay the payment, which will bring risks and losses to the enterprise and even the country, and the economic benefits of the enterprise will not be guaranteed.
