External trade. Merchandise trade by main country and territory [online document] Note: One distinguishes here between domestically produced exports and re-exports, because the source of sales effort may be very different. The marketing of goods and their transportation are two separate activites that are likely undertaken by different firm. Whereas Hong Kong trading houses may buy and sell goods produced and sold by other for the purpose of transporting them, they may or may not market them on behalf of those who produce them. Although one may hire others to advertise and transport one's goods, the actual sales of those goods is more likely to be undertaken by their manufacturer. |
