regulations regarding the international trade laws of different countries4. Any states which are
known to take part in international trade cannot take their own decisions regarding international
trade and they must take approval regarding international trade from the different countries5. The
legislative as well as the judicial branches of the country are responsible for making any kind of
changes to the existing law as well as bring new laws to the system so that the transportation of
international goods can be conducted in a better way. With the implementation of international
trade a lot of countries get the scope to avail varieties of products from different countries. In the
