Producers and Importers
Producers are entities that create goods or products, such as manufacturers or farmers, directly responsible for making items available in the market. Importers are specialized producers that bring goods from other countries into the local market. Both play vital roles in supply chains: producers handle the production process, while importers manage transferring foreign goods into the country. Their activities influence the availability, quality, and safety of products consumers purchase. Regulatory frameworks often require both to adhere to standards, label items properly, and sometimes pay duties or taxes to ensure fair trade and protect public interests.
