Classification of international trade
According to the direction of goods movement, international trade can be divided into
1. import Trade: introducing goods or services from other countries to the market of this country for sale. 2. Export Trade: exporting the country's goods or services to other countries' markets for sale. 3. Transit trade: The goods of country A are transported to the market of country B through the territory of country C, which is transit trade for country C.. Because transit trade hinders international trade, WTO members do not engage in transit trade with each other. Import trade and export trade are export trade for both sides of each transaction, and import trade for the buyer. In addition, when the goods imported into the country are re-exported, they become re-exported; Commodities exported abroad are called re-import when they are imported into the country.
according to the form of goods, international trade can be divided into
1. Visible Trade: the import and export of goods in physical form. For example, machinery, equipment, furniture, etc. are all goods in physical form, and the import and export of these goods is called tangible trade. 2. Invisible Trade: the import and export of technologies and services without physical form. The transfer of patent use rights, tourism, transnational services provided by financial and insurance enterprises, etc. are all goods without physical form, and their import and export are called intangible trade.
according to the relationship between producing countries and consuming countries in trade, international trade can be divided into
1. The exporting country of trade is called direct export, and the importing country is called direct import. 2 Indirect Trade and Transit Trade: refers to the behavior of commodity producers and consumers buying and selling commodities through a third country. In indirect trade, producers are called indirect exporters, consumers are called indirect importers, while third countries are entrepot countries, and third countries are engaged in entrepot trade.
According to the content of trade, it is divided into service trade, processing trade, commodity trade and general trade.
According to the number of trade participants, it is divided into bilateral trade and multilateral trade.
1. Bilateral trade refers to the trade between two countries on the basis of bilateral settlement through agreement. In this kind of trade, each side pays for the import from the other side with the export of one side, which is mostly implemented in foreign exchange control countries. In addition, bilateral trade also refers to the trade between the two countries. 2. Multilateral trade is also called multi-angle trade, which refers to the trade in which three or more countries buy and sell each other on the basis of multilateral settlement through agreement. Obviously, under the trend of economic globalization, multilateral trade is more common. Characteristics of International Trade International trade in goods belongs to the scope of commodity exchange, which is not different from domestic trade in nature. However, as it is conducted between different countries or regions, it has the following characteristics compared with domestic trade: 1. International trade in goods involves possible differences and conflicts in policy measures and legal systems of different countries or regions, as well as differences brought about by language, culture and social customs, and the issues involved are far more complicated than domestic trade. 2. The number and amount of international trade in goods are generally large, the transportation distance is long, and the performance time is long, so the risks borne by both parties to the transaction are far greater than those of domestic trade. 3. International trade in goods is easily influenced by the political and economic changes, bilateral relations and changes in the international situation in the countries where both parties to the transaction are located. 4. In addition to the two parties, international trade in goods also involves the cooperation and cooperation of transportation, insurance, banking, commodity inspection, customs and other departments, and the process is much more complicated than domestic trade.
