Talk:Re-exportation

Better examples?

[edit]

Intuitively one would expect re-exports from smaller western nations to be near-zero since the dawn of free trade. Right now the only example is UAE funnelling trade goods to Iran around the US-backed trade embargo with Iran. Which, maybe, is a good example. But on the page List of countries by exports it stats that the majority of exports year over year from smaller post-industrial nations are re-exports. These are in some qualitative way different from UAE's trade with Iran around the embargo, to me. These smaller western nations combined economies are obviously much larger than Iran's, so the great majority of re-exports are not well described by the example. Can someone who is knowledgeable on the issues address this please? --— robbiemuffin page talk 13:15, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
