Although

, there are benefits to

this

trend, but the adverse effect on our is much more

as a result

of the

risk

involved. One of the advantages of transporting items from other nations is so that we can be able to improve quality of life with various kinds of goods. Each nation is rich with diversity of raw materials,

also

have different expertise in different fields of life.

For example

, in China, they specialize mostly in manufacturing that some other countries do not have all the resources or the skills required to produce. Only foreing trade could have made accessible to them possible.

On the other hand

,

although

this

gap is being closed through

this

exchange process, the disadvantages of

this

trend are much more than the good aspect of it. Not only is imported expensive

as a result

of the rigorous process and the payment of taxes involved, it is

also

very risky. A trader may need to travel longer hours before moving any goods and services to their country of residence exposing him to the

risk

of an accident, thefts or loss of goods in transit. In conclusion,

although

transporting goods from other countries has its own important, the

risk

of

risk

and the cost required.
