When a country brings in goods that were made in another country, what is it doing?

When a country brings in good that were made in another country, they are importing goods.

Importing goods is a significant part of the American economy and dates back several centuries. This allows the US to have good trade relations with other countries. This also allows the US to get goods from other countries that may be difficult to produce in the US. The importation of goods has helped in driving down the prices of goods for the American consumer.
