Import: Sum of goods and services brought into a jurisdiction
An import is a raw material or a finished product that is brought into a country from abroad.
For example America imports maple syrup from Canada and exports manufactured products to the Caribbean. Some Caribbean countries import nearly all their goods, paying for them with money earned through tourism, banking, and other service industries.
