Berne Union

The Berne Union, with its registered office in London, is the world's largest association of public and private export credit insurance and investment insurance companies. The Berne Union advocates a worldwide convergence of conditions for export credits, export credit insurance and investment insurance.

The “Operational Guidelines“ approved by the members contain specific provisions for permitted credit periods, especially for export credits with terms of up to 23 months, broken down by order value and goods/service type.
