it depends on what aspect you are talking about, in commerce there is NAFTA which is USA,Canada and Mexico, then is Mercasur which includes Brazil and Argentina I think, and then is Europe, mostly all countries, Asian countries have a high penalty in Taxes if you want to import from Mexico, if you are talking in war issues, Mexico doesn't go to war.

Very much depends on what the goods are.  There are different tariffs for different products if you ring Customs and Excise they will give you all the information you require.

Well you wouldn't have international trade without other countries because that is what international trade is, trading amongst the countries of the world. So country A that is rich in lets say gold can sell it to country B and country B might be rich in some other commodity lets say salt and so they would sell their salt to country C and country C might be rich in lets say coffee and they would turn around and sell that to country A.  All countries benefit from international trade.\nI don't know how it benefits your society because I don't know what society you are from???\nTake care.\n*hugs*\nJAC<

You're question is very interesting.  As you know we are in a globalized world.  This is not the first wave of globalization--it's the third.  The other waves happened centuries ago.  Anyway, because something is sold to someone living outside the borders of the US, doesn't necessarily mean that you will lose your freedoms.  They still have to operate under American law & standards here in the US.

yes.  Actually many products that are made in China are of better quality than those made in the US.  China has made great strides in technologies development in the last 10 years.

This is, of course, not a comprehensive answer, but any business that trades with people or businesses in other nations is part of the international economic system.\n\nFor example, Nike is based in Portland, Oregon. It's a publicly traded company, so theoretically it's owned by any number of people in any number of places. These are it's shareholders. It's shoes are designed by designers and engineers in the US mainly or possibly Japan or Canada or something. That shoe is analyzed by marketing people in the US and other offices of the company.\n\nThen the plans are sent to Nike's suppliers. These could be anywhere, but they tend to be in poorer countries (Mexico, Thailand, China) that have good infrastructure (health care, working roads, stable electricity, stuff like that.) This is because it's cheaper to make shoes where you don't have to pay as high wages but you can still move stuff around easily and depend on communications. The suppliers will acquire the materials they need. For a shoe, this includes rubber, leather, metal, cloth, plastic, etc. Leather can come from anywhere with cows. This would likely be Brazil, Canada or the US. Rubber comes primarily from Indonesia and South East Asia. Plastic is made of oil, which comes from Iran, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, etc. It can be refined and turned into plastic in a lot of places. Let's say this oil comes from Brunei, in South East Asia, and is refined in the Philippines. Let's say the rubber comes from Indonesia. The Leather comes from Australia. And so on. All this is taken to a factory, let's say in China. Workers make it all into shoes. These are shipped out to be sold in South Korea and Italy and South Africa and Argentina and South Dakota and a million other places.\n\nThe part of the price of the shoe that isn't spent on materials or taken out by the store goes to Nike. This is Nike's profits. If Nike keeps making profits and increasingly high profits, shareholders will keep buying "stock" in Nike. Nike has to keep making profits, so it has to keep finding the cheapest way to make shoes and the cheapest way to make the most people buy the most shoes at the highest prices. That's the way it looks for Nike.\n\nIf you go backward, to the stores that sell the shoes, then you see that each of these stores is a link between a huge company and the local economy. People in the town or county buy the shoes and other people work in the stores. The suppliers in China link Nike to people in China and South East Asia. Chinese workers are paid (however small their wages are) and spend their money to buy food, clothes and stuff like that. This money goes into the local economy of Zhangwen or whatever. Then if we go back to Rubber workers in Indonesia, they are injecting shoe money into their local economy.\n\nYou can see that this shoe company involves people in many countries, but that it is all part of a huge complicated system. The economy now involves almost everyone on earth, so it is incredibly hard to predict how something will happen if 6,400,000,000 are all participating in the process. That is why economists so often disagree or end up wrong.\n\nMaking things and selling them is pretty straight forward compared to resources (like oil), currencies (like when people say the "dollar is weaker"), or finances (banks that loan money across the world and stuff like that). When you get into those sort of things, you're often dealing with what a lot of people think in New York or London, instead of actual events.\n\nFor example, if Bush says something about a war with Iran, the price of oil can go up. Not because oil is harder to get, but because a lot of Commodities Traders on Wall Street (Commodities are things like oil or gold that people can buy or sell) think oil will get harder to get. They might be right. If the US invaded Iran, it would make it harder to get oil, because a lot of pipe lines

I'm sure anyone from the USA would say they'd get along great.  But 85% of our goods and services are sent to the US.  So, I'm sure without our things, the US could potentially buy from someone else, but there's also the possibility of it being more expensive than they could get from us here in Canada.

If Americans would only wise up to the inbalence of imports vs Exports we are importing way to much and from country's that buy little in return, what kinda global benifit business plan is that? one where USA comes out short!

Companies manufacture overseas because labor costs are cheap.  If the US had a policy for taxing imports at high rates, then more manufacturing would be done here.

If you mean USA products, Brazil has almost all products being soldeverywhere. \n\nSao Paulo has 21 million of inhabitans and a lot of multinational companies. You can fined everything there. Other regions, specially in North and Center-West you can find some lack. \n\nBrazil has almost the same size as USA so its natural find discrepancies between north and south, same found between Alaska and Miami. \n\nBrazil doesnt have some special regional products (like Nuit's dry meat) or most recent High Tech products to the usual consumer's. About industry, probably Spacial industry and most recent design products. \n\nEverything else you can find there.\n\nPrice about those things are completely diferent issue.
