Law/Patents - Law: Taxation & Customs / Foreign trade law/corporate administration
German term or phrase: Ausfuhrverantwortlicher
"Person Responsible for Exports" is even used by the British government (http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/cm19989... see also http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/law_patents/6047... but that seems rather verbose for a person's title/position in a company. Would "Export Officer" seem more appropriate in such a context?

Explanation:
How about one of these? They both google fairly convincingly, and someone "responsible" for exports could hardly hold any less than a managerial position, surely?

Explanation:
Hi David,
Im working on something similar. I was thinking along the lines of "Spokesman for Exports". However, let me know what you decide so we can harmonize. (Also, for "Ausfuhrbeauftragte" I was thinking of Export Commissioner". Let me know what you think.)

Cheers,
-Aidan
