Posted by Deepika Roy on January 6th, 2020

Export is about sending products, goods, or commodities to another country where it is either not available or in shortage.

Import is similarly bringing in goods, products or commodities which are not available or are in shortage in our Country.

Import-Export of Commodity, goods, products need to pass through the Country’s border, recorded by the Customs at both sides and the transaction is in foreign currency.

Export-Import is all about Foreign Trade and the World becomes your market. International buying and selling are done through Banks, Customs, Shipping or air.

Importing means buying foreign goods and services by citizens, businesses, and the government of a country. No matter, how they are sent to the country. They can be shipped, sent it by e-mail, or even hand-carried in personal luggage on a plane. A country importing more than it’s export runs a trade deficit. Whereas, a country importing less than it exports creates a trade surplus.

Exporting means goods and services which are produced in one country are purchased in another country. It is produced domestically and sold to someone in a foreign country. Most countries want to increase their exports as it increases the GDP of the country.

A person beholding import-export license can sell his manufactured goods to the clients overseas, can act as an intermediary between the local manufacture and buyer abroad or vice versa, and can directly purchase goods produced abroad and sell them in the native markets similar to the conventional business. This business becomes unique with the involvement of various stakeholders and risks, which do not come into the picture with domestic trade.
