-What is' import and export trade '?

Export trade refers to the trade activity of exporting domestically produced or processed goods, including domestically owned labor services, to foreign markets for sale. In this process, sometimes we encounter two concepts that both contain the word 'exit', but their meanings are different. One of them is net exports, which specifically refers to the portion where the export volume of similar goods exceeds the import volume of similar goods. Another is re export trade, which refers to the trade activity of buying foreign goods and exporting them to foreign countries without processing.

Import trade refers to the trade activity of purchasing goods produced or processed by foreign countries, including labor services owned by foreign countries, and importing them into the domestic market. Import trade plays an important role in the international economy, promoting the circulation of goods and resource sharing among countries.

Transit trade is a direct trade behavior that differs from the direct buying and selling of goods between commodity producing countries and commodity consuming countries. It refers to the situation where the producing country and the consuming country cannot directly engage in the buying and selling of goods due to certain reasons, and must conduct the buying and selling activities of goods through a third country. The third country not only acts as an intermediary in this process, but also as a shipper, obtaining profits through such transactions. This form of trade activity is of great significance in the international economy, promoting the circulation of global goods and the effective allocation of resources.

In transit trade, third countries participating in such activities must go through value transfer activities of goods - buying and selling, but not necessarily through physical transfer of goods. That is to say, third countries can obtain profits by directly transporting goods from production and consumption countries without going through their own country. This trade method not only brings economic benefits to third countries, but also provides more trade opportunities for commodity producing and consuming countries.
