GOALS:
As against the ongoing case briefed above, the Atlanta Traders and Exporters was incorporated in 1996 with the following goals:
To offer the most efficient services for clearing and forwarding the Nepal-made products from Nepal to any country in the rest of the world
To explore the foreign markets for products exportable from Nepal
To carry out all import procedures for importing all types of goods not legally banned for importing; import-related area has been a minor area with no activities carried out thus far.

CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS:
The company over its relatively short period since inception has made a headway to achieving its goals. The focus of the business has been almost entirely on export side. The annual mean volume of turnover has turned out to be Rs.75 lakhs.

The aggregate turnover for the last business year was entirely composed of the export-related segment of the company’s business. Export of a range of Nepal-made products destined for foreign markets, particularly France, U.K., Germany, Denmark, Italy and U.S.A. has maintained a surpassing trend. Exports have been made out both by the company itself and on behalf of other parties; however imports will be made solely on behalf of other parties. The breakdown of the composition of the exported commodities reveals that exports of handmade paper products and pashminas (silk fabrics) have taken on a growing trend to catch up with traditional handicrafts, garments, and woolen carpets.

QUICKWAY CARGO (P) LTD: A RECENT ADDITION
Quickway Cargo (P) Ltd. has been recently incorporated as the exclusive forwarding entity. With this company in operation, there is no more any need for employing the services of a separate forwarding agent to fill out the orders received from overseas.
