Chinese name: trade mbth: the emergence and classification of international trade, and the emergence and development of international trade under specific historical conditions. The two basic conditions for the formation of international trade are: (1) the development of social productive forces; (2) the formation of the country. The development of social productive forces produces surplus commodities for exchange, which are exchanged between countries and produce international trade.

According to the direction of commodity movement, international trade can be divided into 1. Import trade: importing foreign goods or services to the domestic market for sale. 2. Export trade: exporting domestic goods or services to foreign markets for sale. 3. entrepot trade: the goods of country A are transported to the market of country B through the territory of country C, which is entrepot trade to country C. Because transit trade hinders international trade, WTO members do not engage in transit trade. Second, international trade can be divided into 1 by commodity form. Tangible trade: the import and export of goods in kind. 2. Invisible trade: the import and export of technologies and services without physical form. Such as machines, equipment, furniture, etc. They are all goods in physical form, and the import and export of these goods is called visible trade. Transfer of patent use rights, transnational services provided by tourism, financial and insurance enterprises, etc. They are all goods without physical form, and their import and export are called invisible trade. 3. According to the relationship between producer and consumer in trade, international trade can be divided into 1. Direct trade refers to the behavior of commodity producing countries and commodity consuming countries buying and selling commodities without going through a third country. The exporting country of trade is called direct export, and the importing country is called direct import. 2. Indirect trade and entrepot trade: refers to the behavior of commodity producers and consumers buying and selling commodities through third countries. In indirect trade, producers are called indirect exporters, consumers are called indirect importers, and third countries are entrepot traders, and third countries are engaged in entrepot trade. For example, there are some business opportunities in post-war Iraq, but the risks are also great. When some Chinese enterprises export goods to Iraq, most of them first sell the goods to neighboring countries of Iraq, and then re-export them to Iraq from neighboring countries of Iraq.
