International trade is a complex landscape where entrepreneurs face risks when starting their businesses, as success is never guaranteed. Key concepts include profit, which is the difference between revenue and production costs. Trade involves the exchange of goods and services, while exports and imports describe the flow of goods across borders. Trade barriers like tariffs and quotas can restrict this flow, while economic sanctions and embargoes are imposed to enforce compliance with international laws. Additionally, factors such as exchange rates and weather conditions can significantly impact trade dynamics.
