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.
Indirect trade occurs when the goods are transferred from the manufacturing country to the consuming country through an intermediate country. In this kind of trade, the manufacturing country is the indirect exporter while the consuming country is the indirect importer, no direct trade relations existing between them. As for the intermediate country which establishes direct business relations with the manufacturing country and consuming country separately, it is transit trade or re-export trade. Owing to the geographical, historical, political and economic reasons, some countries and regions possess the advantageous conditions of being cargo distributing center, for example, Hong Kong, Rotterdam and Singapore are the famous entrepots dealing with a great deal of transit trade. Through transit trade, these countries and regions can get generous benefits in forms of tax, storage, and arrangements for transportations such as loading and unloading, etc.
The international trade also falls with the scope of commodity exchange. In this sense, it is not fundamentally different from the domestic trade. Nevertheless, as it is conducted among the countries and regions that are quite different in many areas, it involves more difficulties and risks. The specific differences between international trade and domestic trade mainly exist in the following areas：
Differences in conditions of trade.
While doing international trade, the conflicts and misunderstanding arising from the differences in languages, customs, beliefs and religions are easy to cause the failure of business. Meanwhile, it is harder to collect information about the current market situation internationally, to know about the credit status of the potential business partner, and to get acquainted with the laws, regulations and policies governing foreign trade in other countries. Nevertheless, the adequate information in the above mentioned areas is the basic condition for doing international trade smoothly and successfully. While doing domestic trade, the trading partners face no such difficulties.
