Defining the Import Export Business
The IMEX Business Defined

What is Import Export?

If you look up the term Import in any dictionary you probably see this definition: "to bring in (merchandise, commodities, workers, etc.) from a foreign country for use, sale, processing, reexport, or services."

The definition for Export is similar: "to locate, ship, transport, (merchandise, commodities, workers, etc.) to other countries or places for sale, exchange, etc."

So, at first look the Import Export business appears to be simple; "to locate, ship, transport, merchandise, commodities, workers, etc."  and ship those goods and services from one market to another. Well, that seems easy enough.

Of course there are a lot of steps between the simple Import Export dictionary definition that are necessary to complete even the most basic transaction and get paid for your efforts.
