INTERNATIONAL TRADE CONCEPTS
18
SOME INTERNATIONAL TRADE CONCEPTS Balance of Trade-The balance of trade indicates the
difference between nation’s imports and exports values over a period of time (nation’s export value minus imports value)
Trade Deficit- The trade deficit is a negative balance of trade (I > E) (discuss when E>I)
Balance of Payment- Balance of Payment is the total flow of money into a country (exports) minus total flow of money out of that country (imports) over a period of time (National Debt)

RESTRICTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
23
TYPES OF TRADE RESTRICTIONS
Tariff Barriers
Non-Tariff Barriers
24
TARIFF BARRIERS
25
TARIFF BARRIERS Tariffs- The most commonly imposed custom
duty (import duty) Two types of tariffs – Protective Tariffs (fresh
tomato from Mexico)and Revenue Tariffs (Scotch Whiskey)
Both increase the cost price of the product Dumping - exportation of large quantities of a
product at a lower price than that of the same product in that home market (impose of antidumping duties to control)
26
NON-TARIFF BARRIERS
27
NON-TARIFF BARRIERS A non-tariff barrier is non-tax measure imposed by the
government to favor domestic over foreign suppliers. This creates obstacles to marketing of foreign goods in a country and increase costs for exporters Import quota- imposing a import limit on a particular
product in given period of time Embargos- a complete halt to trading with a particular
nation used mostly as a political weapon Foreign exchange control- This is the limitation on the
foreign currency that can be purchased or sold Currency devaluation- The decrease of nation’s own
currency in relation to the currency of other nations
28
REASONS FOR TRADE RESTRICTIONS To equalize a nation’s balance of payment To protect new or weak industries- e.g- imposing
quotas on foreign textile in the US To protect national security- e.g- exporting
strategic defense related products to unfriendly
nations
To protect the health of citizens- e.g- farm products
contaminated with insecticides
To retaliate for another nation’s trade restrictions To protect domestic employments
29
REASONS AGAINST TRADE RESTRICTIONS
Higher prices for consumers
Restrictions of consumers choice
Misallocation of international resources by trying to
protect already weak industries (protection of weak
industries is a waste of national resources)
Loss of jobs if the majority works in exports
oriented industries
30

economies continued to grow. The BRIC countries United States economy in an economic depression Canada and Western Europe are projected to slow the
growth Mexico and Latin America are stagnant Japan indicates a slow growth Asia is making a tremendous growth currently
32
UNITED STATES CONTINUE IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE US exports to Central and Eastern Europe
and Russia will increase US will increase investments in these
countries creating demand for capital goods and technology
