22. Classification of International Trade
(a) Import Trade:
 It refers to purchase of goods from a foreign country. Countries import goods which are
not produced by them either because of cost disadvantage or because of physical
difficulties or even those goods which are not produced in sufficient quantities so as to
meet their requirements.
(b) Export Trade:
 It means the sale of goods to a foreign country. In this trade the goods are sent outside
the country.
(c) Entreport Trade:
 When goods are imported from one country and are exported to another country, it is
called Entreport trade. Here, the goods are imported not for consumption or sale in the
country but for re- exporting to a third country. So importing of foreign goods for export
purposes is known as Entreport trade.

imports and exports may influence the decision about the countries with which trade
is to take place.
