Import is an ancient trade way

International relations on the modern stage of development could not exist without the exchange of goods and services. The country needs oil, it can be obtained only through purchase and importation from another land. This process is called import the goods. Import is the purchase, import of goods, services and technologies from outside the state for further sale on the domestic market.

How long is import?

This word came into use much later than the activity itself. Import is not only the supply of the goods by aircraft or loaded rail and road transport. Do not think that people did not trade during the non-existence of the modern expanded system of import of the goods. The word "import" comes from Latin "importo" - enter. Remember that in the history textbooks described the famous trade route "from the Varangians to the Greeks". One of the most trading countries in ancient times was in Greece, the barren rocks which would not allow her to grow fertile crops. For the opportunity to produce trade in the markets of Athens, they paid the fee. And so was laid the modern imports. Modern are considering a lot of factors, and is a fairly difficult procedure. In order to avoid importation of firearms and narcotic substances, illegal customs carefully check the imported goods. Simplifies the process of using the firm or of a human mediator. to Clear the goods to a person living in this country easier. A modern company dealing with the procedure of import of goods, conduct it without the participation of the importer, thereby facilitating its activities. When Contracting, these companies take full responsibility for the customs control, payment, and sometimes on site delivery.

Tourist import

Tourist imports to Russia is an integral part of market relations. If you have not heard about this, I will explain. Tourist import is the import of specific country experiences about her removal from her money. Export is on the contrary the export of impressions and the import of money. This is a very interesting exports, as it differs from an ordinary cash flow, which moves in the opposite direction. Arriving in Russia, the tourist leaves here a certain amount of money, paying for different services or buying goods and Souvenirs. Instead, it exports from the country impressions about her. In the Russian Federation there is a problem of recognition of travel companies as providing export services. But the Tax code is in no hurry to recognize them as such, and this contradict the General agreement on trade in services (GATS), in which country can join.
In the first article of the GATS clearly States that the companies providing tourist services to citizens of another country are considered exports.

Back to the import of goods from abroad. As you can see, imports are a very important component of the global economy. The exchange of goods and services ensures the stability of the domestic economic situation in the country. Widely known in Soviet times, the word "deficit" has been forgotten thanks to the trade relations of the modern world of States.
