What Is International Trade?
International trade is the buying and selling of goods and services across national borders. For a UAE import‑export company, it means sourcing products like ceramic tiles or Moringa powder locally and selling them to markets in Africa, Europe, and Asia.
Exports are goods/services sold by a domestic company (e.g., a UAE exporter) to overseas markets.
