It should export those goods in which it has greater absolute advantage and
import those goods in the production which it has greater disadvantage.

refers to the ability of a party(an Individual, or Firm, or Country) to produce a
greater quantity of a good, product, or service than competitors, using the
same amount of resources.”

use of the nation’s relatively abundant and cheap factor and import the
commodity whose production requires the intensive use of the nation’s relatively
scarce and expensive factor
