Comments | Trade in goods is based on the physical movement of goods across borders, but for some items, such as ships, oil platforms and aircraft, trading often takes place without the occurrence of such movement. Whether there has been an import or export of such goods is therefore determined based on whether a change in economic ownership has taken place. Economic ownership is defined as the person entitled to claim the economic benefit and who has the legal responsibility for the risk of the item. |
