IMPORT
The term import is derived from the conceptual meaning as to bring in the goods and services into the port of a country. The buyer of such goods and services is referred to an "importer" who is based in the country of import where the overseas based seller is referred to as an "exporter". Thus an import is any good (e.g. a commodity) or service brought in from one country to another country in a legitimate fashion, typically for use in trade. It is a good that is brought in from another country for sale.[2] Imported goods or services are provided to domestic consumers by foreign producers. An import in the receiving country is an export to the sending country. Imports, along with exports, form the basics of international trade. Import of goods normally requires involvement of the customs authorities in both the country of import and the country of export and are often subject to import quotas, tariffs and trade agreements. When the "imports" are the set of goods and services imported, "Imports" also means the economic value of all goods and services that are imported. The macroeconomic variable I usually stands for the value of these imports over a given period of time, usually one year.
17
INTERNATIONAL EXPORT
This term export is derived from the conceptual meaning as to ship the goods and services out of the port of a country. The seller of such goods and services is referred to as an "exporter" who is based in the country of export whereas the overseas based buyer is referred to as an "importer". In International Trade, "exports" refers to selling goods and services produced in the home country to other markets. Export of commercial quantities of goods normally requires involvement of the customs authorities in both the country of export and the country of import. The advent of small trades over the internet such as through Amazon and ebay have largely bypassed the involvement of Customs in many countries because of the low individual values of these trades]Nonetheless, these small exports are still subject to legal restrictions applied by the country of export. An export's counterpart is an import.
An export of a good occurs when there is a change of ownership from a resident to a non-resident; this does not necessarily imply that the good in question physically crosses the frontier. same enterprise, goods crossing the border for significant processing to order or repair). Also smuggled goods must be included in the export measurement.
18
Export of services consist of all services rendered by residents to non-residents. In national accounts any direct purchases by nonresidents in the economic territory of a country are recorded as exports of services; therefore all expenditure by foreign tourists in the economic territory of a country is considered as part of the exports of services of that country. Also international flows of illegal services must be included.
Data on international trade in goods are mostly obtained through declarations to custom services. If a country applies the general trade system, all goods entering or leaving the country are recorded. If the special trade system (e.g. extra-EU trade statistics) is applied goods which are received into customs warehouses are not recorded in external trade statistics unless they subsequently go into free circulation in the country of receipt.
A special case is the intra-EU trade statistics. Since goods move freely between the member states of the EU without customs controls, statistics on trade in goods between the member states must be obtained through surveys. To reduce the statistical burden on the respondents small scale traders are excluded from the reporting obligation. Statistical recording of trade in services is based on declarations by banks to their central banks or by surveys of the main operators. In a globalized economy where services can be rendered via electronic means (e.g. internet) the related international flows of services are difficult to identify. Basic statistics on international trade normally do not record smuggled goods or international flows of illegal services. A small fraction of the smuggled goods and illegal services may nevertheless be included in official trade statistics through dummy shipments or dummy declarations that serve to conceal the illegal nature of the activities.
19
Process
Methods of export include a product or good or information being mailed, hand-delivered, shipped by air, shipped by vessel, uploaded to an internet site, or downloaded from an internet site. Exports also include the distribution of information that can be sent in the form of an email, an email attachment, a fax or can be shared during a telephone conversation.
Barriers
Trade barriers are generally defined as government laws, regulations, policy, or practices that either protect domestic products from foreign competition or artificially stimulate exports of particular domestic products. While restrictive business practices sometimes have a similar effect, they are not usually regarded as trade barriers. The most common foreign trade barriers are government-imposed measures and policies that restrict, prevent, or impede the international exchange of goods and services.[6]
20
Tariffs
A tariff is a tax placed on a specific good or set of goods exported from or imported to a country, creating an economic barrier to trade. Usually the tactic is used when a country's domestic output of the good is falling and imports from foreign competitors are rising, particularly if there exist strategic reasons for retaining a domestic production capability. Some failing industries receive a protection with an effect similar to a subsidies in that by placing the tariff on the industry, the industry is less enticed to produce goods in a quicker, cheaper, and more productive fashion. The third reason for a tariff involves addressing the issue of dumping. Dumping involves a country producing highly excessive amounts of goods and dumping the goods on another foreign country, producing the effect of prices that are "too low". Too low can refer to either pricing the good from the foreign market at a price lower than charged in the domestic market of the country of origin. The other reference to dumping relates or refers to the producer selling the product at a price in which there is no profit or a loss.[7] The purpose (and expected outcome) of the tariff is to encourage spending on domestic goods and services. Protective tariffs sometimes protect what are known as infant industries that are in the phase of expansive growth. A tariff is used temporarily to allow the industry to succeed in spite of strong competition. Protective tariffs are considered valid if the resources are more productive in their new use than they would be if the industry had not been started. The infant industry eventually must incorporate itself into a market without the protection of government subsidies.[8]
21
Subsidies
To subsidize an industry or company refers to, in this instance, a governmental providing supplemental financial support to manipulate the price below market value. Subsidies are generally used for failing industries that need a boost in domestic spending. Subsidizing encourages greater demand for a good or service because of the slashed price. The effect of subsidies deters other countries that are able to produce a specific product or service at a faster, cheaper, and more productive rate. With the lowered price, these efficient producers cannot compete. The life of a subsidy is generally short-lived, but sometimes can be implemented on a more permanent basis.
22
Advantages of exporting
Increased profitability On average, businesses that export are more profitable than those who do not export, according to Austrade. This is largely because foreign markets are more diverse, with consumer habits and needs different in each country, and thus can offer increase opportunities for certain products or services that don't currently elicit any demand at home. It is a relatively lowcost activity to get involved in international business and expand profit. Spreading risks Exporting allows your business to spread your risks across different markets- so that if one market suffers from a recession, lowered demand or changed preferences- your investment, sales and profits won't be as significantly impacted. In fact, exporting is a good way of balancing your growth as you can target new markets when there is low demand at home due to seasonal fluctuations Economies of scale Exporting allows you to take advantage of economies of scale, which refers to lowered average costs as a result of expanded operations, hence leading to increased productivity and efficiency. A firm can further create economies of scale which should lead to lower cost and hence expansion of profit Enhanced innovation Different markets invariably have different and often new ideas, management practices, marketing techniques and ways of competing that you would not have otherwise experienced at home.
23
Disadvantages of exporting
Financial management effort: To minimize the risk of exchange-rate fluctuation and transactions processes of export activity the financial management needs more capacity to cope the major afford
Customer demand: International customers demand more services from their vendor like installation and startup of equipment, maintenance or more delivery services.
Communication technologies improvement: The improvement of communication technologies in recent years enable the customer to interact with more suppliers while receiving more information and cheaper communications cost at the same time like 20 years ago. This leads to more transparency. The vendor is in duty to follow the real-time demand and to submit all transaction details.
Management mistakes: The management might tap in some of the organizational pitfalls, like poor selection of oversea agents or distributors or chaotic global organization.
24
Ways of exporting
The company can decide to export directly or indirectly to a foreign country. Direct selling in export strategy Direct selling involves sales representatives, distributors, or retailers who are located outside the exporter's home country. Direct exports are goods and services that are sold to an independent party outside of the exporters home country. Mainly the companies are pushed by core competencies and improving their performance of value chain. Direct selling through distributors It is considered to be the most popular option to companies, to develop their own international marketing capability. This is achieved by charging personnel from the company to give them greater control over their operations. Direct selling also give the company greater control over the marketing function and the opportunity to earn more profits. In other cases where network of sales representative, the company can transfer them exclusive rights to sell in a particular geographic region. A distributor in a foreign country is a merchant who purchases the product from the manufacturer and sells them at profit. Distributors usually carry stock inventory and service the product, and in most cases distributes deals with retailers rather than end users. Evaluating Distributors
The size and capabilities of its sales force. Its an analysis of its territory. Its current product mix. Its facilities and equipment. Its marketing polices. Its customer profit. Its promotional strategy.
25
What does the company want to gain from exporting? Is exporting consistent with other company goals? What demands will exporting place on the company's key resources management and personnel, production capacity, and finance - and how will these demands be met? Are the expected benefits worth the costs, or would company resources be better used for developing new domestic business?
26
Challenges
Exporting to foreign countries poses challenges not found in domestic sales. With domestic sales, manufacturers typically sell to wholesalers or direct to retailer or even direct to consumers. When exporting, manufacturers may have to sell to importers who then in turn sell to wholesalers. Extra layer(s) in the chain of distribution squeezes margins and manufacturers may need to offer lower prices to importers than to domestic wholesalers.
27
Economy of Pakistan
The economy of Pakistan is the 47th largest in the world in nominal terms and 27th largest in the world in terms of purchasing power parity(PPP). Pakistan has a semi-industrialized economy, which mainly encompasses textiles, chemicals, food processing, agriculture and other industries. Growth poles of Pakistan's economy are situated along the Indus River; diversified economies of Karachi and Punjab's urban centers coexist with lesser developed areas in other parts of the country.The economy has suffered in the past from decades of internal political disputes, a fast growing population, mixed levels of foreign investment, and a costly, ongoing confrontation with neighboring India. Foreign exchange reserves are bolstered by steady worker remittances, but a growing current account deficit driven by a widening trade gap as import growth outstrips export expansion could draw down reserves and dampen GDP growth in the medium term.

CHIEF EXPORT ITEMS OF PAKISTAN Following are the main items which may be included in our export list:
1.Cotton
Cotton ranks at the top of the export list of Pakistan.Pakistan occupies first position in Asia and second position in the world as an exporter of cotton and cotton products.Export of Raw cotton,cotton cloth and cotton yarn together contribute approximately 40 to 42% to the total export earning of Pakistan.Karachi with the cotton growing hinterland has almost the monopoly of the trade.
(a)Cotton Cloth
Cotton fabrics are at the top of our export list.We export a large amount of cotton cloth every year.Due to increasing demand,its export has gone higher enough. Some of the customers of cotton cloth are U.K,U.S..,U.S.S.R., Hong Kong,Japan,Singapore,W.Germany and Sudan.
(c) Raw Cotton Pakistan grows surplus amount of best quality long staple American Upland Cotton which is very much demanded all over the world.Our main customers of raw cotton are U.K.,China,Japan,Hong Kong,Belgium,Indonesia,Italy,Singapore and Bangladesh.
2.Rice
Pakistan has emerged as one of the leading exporters of rice .In the previous years rice was at the top of our export list but due to fluctuation in the world market,its demand has decreased.Best qualities like Basmati and Irri-6 are exported. Pakistan exports rice to almost all the Gulf States and Middle Eastern,European,East Asian and some African countries.
31
7.Petroleum Products
There are 3 oil refineries in Pakistan where crude petroleum is imported and a number of petroleum products are being produced.Some of the surplus products are exported to India,Turkey,Sri Lanka,Singapore etc.
8.Sports Goods
Pakistan has a worthy name in exporting sports goods to more than 100 countries,principally to W.Germany,U.K.,Italy,U.S.A.,France etc.
32
9.Surgical Instruments
Pakistan is also exporting surgical equipments to China,Japan,America and Canada. Besides the above mentioned items,Pakistan exports a number of miscellaneous items like raw wool, Tobacco, Fruits, Vegetables etc. to various countries.
33
2.Machinery
As our country is in its developing stage,we have to import different kinds of machinery to meet the demands of various industries.The machines are usually imported from Japan,U.S.A. and Europeian countries.
3.Edible Oil
The production of edible oil is is not sufficient to meet the demand of our Ghee industry.Although the government has taken various measures to boost up the production of oil seeds,but inspite of those our country is still deficient in edible oil so we have to import enough amount of edible oil e.g. soyabean oil from U.S.A. and Palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia.
34
6.Tea
Our country produces a very small quantity of tea which is sufficient to meet the demand of our country.So various tea companies port huge amount of tea.Tea is mainly imported from Sri Lanka,Bangladesh,India and Kenya.
7.Electric Goods
Different kinds of electrical goods are needed in our country .The local industries are not in in the position to meet the required demand so we have to import a large number of electric goods from Japan,S.A.,U.K. and other European countries.
8.Transport Equipments
Our country needs different kinds of transport equipments e.g. buses,cars,rickshaws,motorcycles.So demand of these are high and hence they are imported from Japan,Italy and other countries.
35
DIRECTION OF TRADE
The global concentration of Pakistans trade can be broadly classified to the following major groups of countries:
3.Asian Countries
Japan,Hong Kong,China,Singapore,Malaysia,Indonesia and various other countries can be included in this group.Our exports to these countries has been decreasing every year,and imports have increase too much so due to these circumstance the balance of trade go in the favour of these countries.Japan is the top buyer of our export goods in Asian countries,but we have to import large amount of machinery,chemicals,transport equipments and various other items from Japan.Besides Japan we do trade with others.Asian countries,such as we import palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia and Tea from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
36
5.R.C.D. Countries
In this group are included Iran,Turkey and newly Independent Central Asian Republics namely Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Turkmanistan. Pakistani exports to Turkey and Iran are quite enough.Although all these countries are trying to make their balances of trade favourable,but inspite of various measures taken by the concerned countries still Pakistans imports are greater than exports,so the balance of trade remains to the favour of these countries.
37
38
Exports receipts from India are gradually decreasing and registered a decline of 8 percent or $26.342 million to $287 million in fiscal year 2011 compared to $313 million in fiscal year 2009. On the other side, imports payments to India posted a healthy growth and surged by 40 percent or $412 million to $1.445 billion in fiscal year 2011 compared to $1.032 billion in fiscal year 2009. The initial payment and receipts statistics of current fiscal year 2012 say that trade balance is completely in favour of India, as during the first half of current fiscal year 2012 Pakistan's exports to India stood at $134 million against $605 million imports, depicting a trade deficit of $471 million. Exporters claim that they have always faced bureaucratic hurdles to export commodities to India and the delay of certification to Pakistani cement companies is the latest example of barrier. "If India provides equal level playing field to Pakistani exporters, as granted by the our ministry of commerce, trade volume between two countries will balance, besides healthy growth", they added. They said that Pakistani traders and industrialist are not against MNF status, but they need sincerity from India side as well easy access and removal of bureaucratic barriers.

Trust and the section on Non-tariff barriers was funded by the Ministry of Commerce. I am grateful to Anne Krueger for useful discussions. Ramesh Chandra and Purnamita Dasgupta have provided useful comments on the draft paper. Research assistance by Raashi Malhotra, Vasundhara Ramachandran, Shounkie Nawani and Rashmi Rastogi at various stages of this project is gratefully acknowledged. 2 Government of Pakistan (1996) Ministry of Commerce, PakistanIndia Trade: Transition to the GATT regime, September, 5. November 2) the number was increased to 1,075 items. The positive list items are notified at the 4, 6 and 8-digit level of the Harmonized System (HS) of classification . It was expected that with the commencement of SAFTA, Pakistan would treat all Members alike in offering trade concessions and that India would automatically be granted MFN status. However, in a communication to the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Secretariat, Pakistan refused to accord MFN status to India and declared that it would continue to follow a restrictive trade policy as far as market access for Indian goods to the Pakistani market were concerned. Thus, there is a perception amongst policy makers and industry that the actual export potential from India to Pakistan continues to remain hugely untapped due to the continuation of the positive list approach being followed by Pakistan towards imports from India. In recent years, Pakistani industry and policy makers have been voicing concerns about Indias protected market. It is being felt that India imposes non-tariff barriers that restrict market access of Pakistani goods into the Indian market. As a result, the trade balance continues to be in Indias favour even though Pakistan follows a positive list approach. Against this background, this paper explores trade possibilities between India and Pakistan that are untapped and makes an attempt at identifying non-tariff barriers that Indian and Pakistani traders face in each others markets.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
50
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
There have been numerous studies published in the past 30 years on the determinants of export performance (see Aaby and Slater, 1989; Bilkey, 1978; Chetty and Hamilton, 1993; Madsen, 1987). This large volume of publications is a strong testimony of not only the importance of the issue but also the legitimacy of inquiry into export marketing. As an area of inquiry, export marketing has been gaining increased recognition among academic disciplines as a legitimate field of research. This recognition is well reflected not only by the fact that exporting research has been published in the leading academic journals, such as the Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Marketing, International Marketing Review, and Journal of International Marketing, but also by the sheer number of publications related to exporting. Its importance and legitimacy notwithstanding, the field of exporting inquiry is known for autonomous and unco-ordinated efforts (Aaby and Slater, 1989; Leonidou and Katsikeas, 1996). In particular, the knowledge of the determinants of export performance is still characterized by a fragmented collection of confusing findings (Aaby and Slater, 1989; Cavusgil and Zou, 1994). A major reason for the lack of clear conclusions regarding the determinants of export performance, in spite of the large volume of published studies, is the lack of synthesis and assimilation of the fragmented knowledge (Leonidou and Katsikeas, 1996). Aaby and Slater (1989) and Chetty and Hamilton (1993) represent excellent efforts to review and synthesize export Performance literature unfortunately, two weekness in these reviews limit their ability to draw concrete conclusions. First, they cover studies that deal with a variety of export dimensions which conceptually are broader than export performance, such as propensity to export, exporter/non-exporter dichotomy, and barriers to export. In order to avoid confusion, a more focused review on the determinants of export performance needs to be conducted. Second, both reviews are limited to management influences (i.e. firm characteristics, competencies, and strategy), leaving out the external environment. However, since external forces are recognized to affect export performance (Cavusgil and Zou, 1994), a review is not complete unless the external environment is included.
51
Given the fact that the literature concerning exporting has proliferated in the last ten years and that a number of different conceptualizations and methodologies have appeared in the literature, it is worthwhile to offer an updated review of what has been accomplished in the last decade and where future research efforts should be directed. The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to provide an updated review and synthesis of the empirical literature between 1987 and 1997 of the determinants of export performance; and (2) to discuss directions for future research aimed at developing better theories and advancing knowledge of export marketing. This review is intended to overcome the two weaknesses in previous reviews by focusing on export performance studies and by including both internal and external determinants of export performance. The article is organized into three sections: (1) description of the review methods; (2) presentation and discussion of the review results; and (3) discussion of future research directions in light of the findings.
52
Identification of studies
The studies included in this review were identified by a systematic process that combines electronic means with manual search. The electronic search wasconducted by using the ABI/INFO database and by searching the Internet resources, including the MCB University Press database. This method has the advantage of efficiently generating a large number of articles which contain the key search words and which are published in a wide variety of journals. Examples of the key words include terms such as export, exporting, export performance, export sales, export profits, export growth, export success, and satisfaction with export. The manual search, on the other hand, was directed at sorting through the articles published in major marketing and international business journals, tracking down those articles listed in the references of major export performance studies, and searching the books on exporting. In particular, the bibliography of Chetty and Hamilton (1993), Leonidou and Katsikeas (1996), and articles published in the Advances in International Marketing provided a good starting point. The manual search helped identify articles which treat export performance as a secondary issue and are, therefore, less likely to be identified through electronic means. Based on the three criteria, the search yielded 50 articles. Compared to Madsen (1987) who offered a similar review on 17 articles published between 1967 and 1987, the number of studies reviewed here is significantly higher. The identified articles come from some of the most popular journals in marketing and international business, including the Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Marketing, International Marketing Review, Journal of International Marketing, Journal of Business Research, Management International Review, and Journal of Global Marketing, among others. Like other reviews of export performance, the current review is limited by its inclusion of only English-language publications. Non-English publications have been difficult to access. Nonetheless, it should be recognized that valuable contributions to the exporting literature have been made in non-English publications (e.g. the European schools). Researchers with language capability are urged to
53
follow the example of Da Rocha and Christensen (1994) whose review of Brazilian studies on exporting represents a good effort to integrate knowledge developed in Portuguese into the mainstream English literature.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
57
Research Methodology
Research Research is a procedure of logical and systematic application of the fundamentals of science to the general and overall questions of a study and scientific technique, which provide precise tools, specific procedures, and technical rather philosophical means for getting and ordering the data prior to their logical analysis and manipulation different type of research designs is available depending upon the nature of research project, availability of manpower and circumstances. 1. Research Design Research design is an arrangement of condition and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy on procedure. The research problem having been formulated in clear-cut term helps the researcher to prepare a research design. The preparation of such a design facilitates in conducting it in an efficient manner as possible. It is a blue print for the fulfillment of objectives and answering questions.
2. Data collection and analysis There are two type of data sources. There are: 3.a Primary data: The primary data is obtained or collected from the respondents with the help if widely used andwell-know method of survey, through a well-structured questionnaire & personal interview
3.b Secondary data: Secondary data is published data. Secondary data is collected from Dealers, Magazines, Record, Internet Report, Document, Web sites.
58
The primary data and secondary data will be studied and analyzed appropriately and interpreted to extract certain fact. Whenever necessary tools and financial tools like tabulation, graphs will be used to present the finding effectively. Descriptive research Descriptive research includes surveys, facts, finding and inquiries of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is description of the state of affairs as it exists at present. Descriptive research is that kind of research where the researcher has no control over the variables. Reporter can only report what has happened or what is going to happen. But these incidents cannot be changed by the researcher. In social science and business research is Descriptive research.

LIMITATIONS

LIMITATIONS
Although the study was carried out with extreme enthusiasm and careful planning yet there are several limitations, which handicapped the research. 1. The time stipulated for the project to be completed is less and thus there are chances that some information might have been left out, however, due care is taken to include all the relevant information needed. 2. Due to time constraints, the sample size was relatively small and would definitely have been more representative if I had collected information from more respondents. 3.
