Q1. What kind of business is Export and Import?

A1Anant Srivastava @anantskier.: Any activity that gives profit by selling goods and services to consumers across the country is called export and import business.  One who exports the goods (seller) from one country to another is called an exporter and at the same time who imports the goods (buyer) in their country from the rest of the world is called an Importer. In simple terms seller to a foreign country is called an exporter and the buyer buying from overseas is called an importer in respective to their countries. #BAC76 #BusinessTwitter #DGFT #MakeinIndia #MSMEs.

Q2. What differentiates domestic and international markets?

A2Anant Srivastava @anantskier.:  The domestic market is the place where one can sell goods in local currency as per the local taxation imposed by the local tax authorities. Whereas International Market is the place across the national borders where one can sell and buy the goods(with Zero Rated Taxation) in international currencies which mean no local tax imposed by the authorities even if any embedded tax is involved in that then Government refunds the taxes in the form of the different scheme to the exporter to make Goods Competitive in the international market like in India we have Duty Drawback Scheme, RoDTEP Scheme, etc. After GST, Indian Exporter is getting a full GST Refund automatic#BAC76 #BusinessTwitter #DGFT #MakeinIndia #MSMEs.
