Since China joined the WTO in 2001, U.S. merchandise exports to China increased 187 percent. During the same period, U.S. exports to the rest of the world grew 38 percent.
The United States has a services trade surplus with China.
As the U.S. economy becomes increasingly globally integrated, the U.S. manufacturing base remains strong. While the U.S.’s manufacturing share of GDP is declining, America is still the world’s number one manufacturer, accounting for more than 20 percent of worldwide manufacturing value-added – that’s twice as much as Germany and more than 2.6 times as much as China. The U.S. manufactures more today than ever in its history – seven times as much real output as in 1950, with roughly the same number of workers as in 1950.
Increased international trade has raised real incomes, restrained prices, introduced greater product variety, spurred technological advances and innovation, and raised real living standards in the United States.
The annual payoff from trade liberalization to date is over $10,000 for an average American family of four. This includes the Tokyo Round, Kennedy Round and Uruguay Round, NAFTA and other U.S. free trade agreements.
The removal of remaining global barriers to trade in goods and services could generate an additional $600 billion in annual income for the United States. Most of these gains arise from liberalization of trade in services.
Approximately 57 million American workers are currently employed by firms that engage in international trade. These firms tend to be more productive, have higher employment growth and pay their workers higher wages than domestically-oriented firms.
Pre-shipment inspection guards against nasty surprises which means that the goods are as per the quality standards prescribed in the product manual and are in working condition. This helps to build a strong brand image of the company in the long run. Being a part of the consumer goods industry, there are high chances that you have heard about a type of quality check called finished quality control and final random inspection. Though they appear as two different types, but in reality, it is a single quality inspection test.
What the Vendor Does during Pre-Shipment Inspection?
1. Manpower to help the Pre-Shipment Inspector:
The quality control inspector needs manpower to proceed with the inspection within the limited amount of time available.
Transport the randomly selected export cartons from the warehouse to the inspection room. Unpack the goods that the inspector arbitrarily selects from the selected export cartons. Repack the goods after the pre-shipment inspection.
The factory workers assistance ensures that the quality inspector focuses on his main job i.e. identifying defects and non-conformities.
2.Working Space for the Quality Inspector:
To select the cartons indiscriminately, they should be located in a wide area where the inspector can see all of them and easily select the cartons randomly, as requested by international standards. The room for inspection should be large enough, well-lit and clean and the factory is responsible for preparing the working environment accordingly in advance, so the inspector checking quality of the products focus on his main job without losing time.
The product packaging phase usually follows production and inspection can occur at various times before, during and after production. But in general, only pre-shipment inspection is conducted when at least 80% of the goods are finished and packed. It includes packaging checks as well.
Factory workers don’t normally pack units one by one as they come off the production line. Instead, they typically wait until production is close to finished before packing goods in bulk. Since it’s difficult to check packaging until so close to shipping, shipping delays often result when you find serious packaging issues during pre-shipment inspection.

The Nepali government has decided to inoculate the COVID-19 vaccine donated by China among people aged 40-59 years, a senior official of Nepal’s Ministry of Health and Population said.
A batch of Chinese vaccines arrived in Nepal on March 29 in a major boost to the Himalayan country’s vaccination drive against the pandemic.
“The government has decided to inoculate the Chinese vaccine among people aged 40-59 years from the hospitals and health institutions with appropriate infrastructure,” Jageshwor Gautam, spokesperson at the health ministry said at a press conference on Wednesday. “A different vaccination identity card will be distributed to the people who are inoculated with the Chinese vaccine.”
He said that additional preparation for vaccination with the Chinese vaccine would be based on the recommendation of the National Immunization Advisory Committee, a government body, responsible for making necessary recommendations regarding the use of vaccines.
Dr. Jhalak Sharma Gautam, chief of National Immunization Programme under the health ministry, told Xinhua that the committee under the health ministry had recommended for the use of the Chinese vaccine among the people living in a certain geographic area or a certain occupational group.
He however said that nothing has been decided regarding when the Nepali government would start inoculating the Chinese vaccine.
Earlier, on February 17, the Nepali drug regulator Department of Drug Administration had granted approval to the vero cell vaccine developed by China’s Beijing Institute of Biological Products Co., Ltd, under Sinopharm, for the emergency use in Nepal.
The Chinese vaccine has arrived in Nepal at a time when the Himalayan country is struggling to get enough vaccines to continue its vaccination drive.
Nepal started the vaccination campaign against COVID-19 on Jan 27 and has so far inoculated over 1.7 million people in two phases, according to the health ministry.
In the first phase, health workers, sanitation workers, staff of diplomatic offices and journalists were inoculated first doses of COVID-19 vaccine. In the second phase, people aged 65 years and above were vaccinated, according to the health ministry.
These vaccination campaigns were run with Covishield vaccine, developed by the Oxford University and AstraZeneca and manufactured by the Serum Institute of India.
