📖 Comprehensive Note on Import Trade

Import trade is the process of buying goods and services from foreign countries and bringing them into one’s own country for use, consumption, or resale. It involves customs clearance, payment in foreign currency, and is usually subject to tariffs and import duties imposed by the government. Imports help to meet domestic demand for goods that are unavailable or insufficient locally. However, excessive importation can also affect local industries due to competition.
