Visible trade and invisible trade
In terms of the form of the goods traded, international trade can be classified as visible trade and invisible trade.
Visible trade, also called tangible trade, refers to the import and export of goods that are physically visible. Cars, garments, furniture, all kinds of equipment and things alike are all visible goods. Different from the visible trade, invisible trade involves the import and export of the items that are not physically visible. The transfer of the patent and technology, tourism, the financial and insurance services, international transportation, and the labor services offered across borders of countries are the major forms of intangible trade.
Although there is an apparently escalating trend of the fast growth in invisible trade with the fast advancement in communication and technology, visible trade is still the most important form of international trade. For this reason, visible trade is the focus of the text book. The procedures as well as regulations and rules related to visible trade will be discussed in elaborate details.
Direct and indirect trade Considering the number ofparties involved in the international trade, there are direct trade and indirect trade.
Direct trade only involves two parties, the manufacturing country and the consuming country serving as the exporter and importer separately. The goods or services are transferred directly between them. No third party is involved as the intermediary.
