5. It gives consumers more choice,

and a broader range of qualities to choose from

Think of all the things we can now have because we can import them:

fruits and vegetables out of season, foods, clothing and other products

that used to be considered exotic, cut flowers from any part of the

world, all sorts of household goods, books, music, movies, and so on.

Think also of the things people in other countries can have because

they buy exports from us and elsewhere. Look around and consider all

the things that would disappear if all our imports were taken away from

us. Imports allow us more choice – both more goods and services to

choose from, and a wider range of qualities. Even the quality of

locally-produced goods can improve because of the competition from

imports.

The wider choice isn’t simply a question of consumers buying foreign

finished products. Imports are used as materials, components and

equipment for local production.

This expands the range of final products and services that are made by

domestic producers, and it increases the range of technologies they can

use. When mobile telephone equipment became available, services

sprang up even in the countries that did not make the equipment, for

example.

Sometimes, the success of an imported product or service on the

domestic market can also encourage new local producers to compete,

increasing the choice of brands available to consumers as well as

increasing the range of goods and services produced locally.

If trade allows us to import more, it also allows others to buy more of

our exports. It increases our incomes, providing us with the means of

enjoying the increased choice.
