Commerce Overview

Trade in commerce encompasses the exchange of goods (including raw materials, intermediate and finished goods) and services between buyers and sellers in return for a price at traditional (or online) marketplaces. It is categorized into domestic trade and foreign trade, including import, export, and entrepôt/re-export trades.

The principal factors that give rise to commercial exchanges in commerce are the diversity in the distribution of natural resources, differences of human needs and wants, and division of labour along with comparative advantage.

Aids to trade in commerce are auxiliary commercial activities that facilitate trade and include commercial intermediaries, banking and financial services, transportation, packaging, warehousing, communication, advertising, and insurance.
