https://www.taxtmi.com/forum/issue?id=110814 Choice between manufacturer-exporter and merchant exporter affects transactional structure, control, and paperwork rather than entitlement to export incentives. Manufacturer-exporter entails a single transaction and lower documentary burden; merchant exporter involves two transactions, greater paperwork, dependence on manufacturers, and profit sharing.
