How does an import and export business make money?

Exporters sell goods or services to buyers in other countries. Importers buy abroad and resell at home, often as a distributor or wholesaler. Some act as agents for a commission. Profit is the selling price minus the product, freight, insurance, duties, taxes, finance costs and currency changes.
