Smugglers Inc., а cоmpаny thаt buys and sells pirate regalia frоm arоund the world, has stores in multiple countries. Johnnie Depp, the CFO of Smugglers, has been having problems with importing and exporting the firm's products. Many products face a high tax on importation into foreign countries. Sometimes, the foreign governments even limit the number of products allowed in or they insist that a percentage of the finished product must be manufactured there. Occasionally, there have been extra surcharges collected because the foreign government has accused Smugglers of selling products at too low a price. Fortunately, Smugglers' home government often provides tax incentives and other benefits so that Smugglers' prices are lower than those in other countries. Lately, Smugglers' exports to some countries have been held up for examination by the local customs officers. This has resulted in high storage charges from the freight carriers. Discuss the various types of government intervention faced by Smugglers and their customers. Why are these interventions being used? Who benefits? In the end, who pays for them?
