What is International Trade and Customs Clearance?

International Trade: It is done by applying some justifications in cases where the countries where the international borders are opened need import and export between each other. International trade has been named as the event in which trade is carried out all over the world. The basis of international trade dates back to ancient times, for example; Like the Silk Road. The Silk Road is a commercial route developing from the East to the West. The Silk Road started with the transportation of “silk”, which is still very valuable since ancient times. “Silk” was carried by caravans from China to Europe. Although the first commercial transportation started with the Silk Road, its economic, social and political importance has increased significantly over the last centuries. In order to realize international trade, countries need production resources and countries’ production resources are limited, no country can produce every resource they want, and therefore they need the resources of foreign countries and have to buy what they cannot produce or can produce less than their needs. Similarly, it has to sell the surplus product it produces. In other words, no country in general is self-sufficient. It has to depend on other countries to import goods that may be unsuitable for it or in insufficient quantities. It exports goods that are in excess and are in high demand. Trading means selling or buying something. International trade, on the other hand, is a little more complicated, because it is made between two or more countries, it is done through the laws, laws and currencies of the countries where the trade is made.

Industrialization, advanced transportation, globalization, multinational companies and outsourcing have a major impact on the international trade system. It increases the level of development and sustainability of the whole world. International trade is not fundamentally different from domestic trade, as the motivations and behavior of the parties involved in a trade do not fundamentally change regardless of whether the trade crosses the border. The biggest difference is that international trade typically costs more than domestic trade.
