     Since the end of World War Ⅱ, international trade has developed dramatically. All countries in the modern world join in worldwide trade, through which various sorts of merchandise and  (51)  materials are exported in  (52)  for foreign currency, which means income wealth from  (53)  and job opportunity at home, and in the meantime, foreign goods are imported to provide consumers with  (54)  and welcome merchandise. Today, economic interdependence among countries is so  (55)  that no country can close its doors to the outside world, and the more prosperous the national economy, the more developed the foreign trade. Economic globalization is now a  (56)  in the world.

Even their customs were governed by officials from the powers, whose exported goods thus could enter the colonies nearly duty-free. It was after the collapse of colonialist system all over the world that free and fair international trade, at least theoretically, could be possible.
