Export refers to the export of goods or services produced by one country to another country. Sellers of such goods and services are called exporters; Foreign buyers are called importers.
Exporting goods often requires the participation of customs authorities.
Many manufacturing enterprises began to expand globally as exporters, and then turned to another model to serve foreign markets.
The methods of exporting products or commodities or information include mailing, manual delivery, air transportation, shipping, uploading to Internet websites or downloading from the Internet. Exports also include the distribution of information, such as e-mail, e-mail attachments, faxes or telephone conversations.
Trade barriers are laws, regulations, policies or practices of the government to protect domestic products from foreign competition or artificially stimulate the export of domestic products.
Although restrictive business practices sometimes have similar effects, they are not usually regarded as trade barriers. The most common foreign trade barriers are measures and policies implemented by the government, which restrict, prevent or hinder the international exchange of goods and services.
