When roxanne, a u. s. citizen, purchases a designer dress from barneys of new york that was made in milan, the purchase is a. a u. s. import and an italian export. b. a u. s. export and an italian import. c. neither an export nor an import for either country. d. both a u. s. and an italian import

A)a U.S. import and an Italian export.

Explanation: Importing is referred as foreign services and goods that are bought by the public, organizations etc of any particular country whereas exporting is termed as purchasing items in other country which are generated or made in another particular country .

Roxanne is buying the dress from New York which is brought to U.S. as foreign good for selling, that is considered as U.S. import while the dress was made in Italy thus, that is other country .So, it will be considered as the Italian export.

Other options are incorrect because the dress is not made in U.S. so it cannot be U.S. export and it is not brought to Italy for selling.It is not U.S, import because dress is brought from Italy to U.S.,so it is a U.S. import.Thus, the correct option is option (A).
