The commercial activity of selling domestic goods to foreign buyers,
|
||
|
|
typically encouraged by government policies like bounties that make

||

|
exporting more profitable than domestic sales.

## Context
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Smith criticizes exportation trade promoted by bounties as forcing capital
|
||
|
|
into less advantageous channels, arguing that it often comes at the expense
|
||
|
|
of the more important home market.
