Why do countries at the same time import and export the products of the same industry, or import and export the same kinds of goods? According to Nigel Grimwade, "An explanation cannot be found within the framework of classical or neo-classical trade theory. The latter predicts only inter-industry specialisation and trade". [1]
Import substitution industrialization (ISI) is a trade and economic policy that advocates replacing foreign imports with domestic production. [1] It is based on the premise that a country should attempt to reduce its foreign dependency through the local production of industrialized products.
An import ban is a statutory action or policy measure which prevents importers from bringing a certain category of goods into a country, or which bans certain categories of goods from one or more specific countries.

It predicts that countries will export those goods that make intensive use of locally abundant factors and will import goods that make intensive use of factors that are locally scarce.

Such agreements involve cooperation between at least two countries to reduce trade barriers, import quotas and tariffs, and to increase trade of goods and services with each other. North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
Exports of a capital-abundant country come from capital-intensive industries, and labour-abundant countries import such goods, exporting labour-intensive goods in return. Competitive pressures within the H–O model produce this prediction fairly straightforwardly. Conveniently, this is an easily testable hypothesis.
The first question is why goods and services are produced in multiple countries, instead of a single country. [1] The second central question regarding MNEs is why certain firms decide to produce multiple products—why they internalize other areas of production. [1] The first question can be answered rather simply.
