# Round-about Foreign Trade of Consumption
## Definition
A trade pattern where a country imports goods by first exporting its own products to a third country, receiving payment in precious metals, then using those metals to purchase the desired imports. This contrasts with direct trade where imports are paid for with domestic exports.
## Source Chapter
Book IV, Chapter 3
## Context
Smith argues that round-about trade is less advantageous than direct trade, using the example of England potentially importing French goods through tobacco and East India goods rather than through direct English manufactures.
