💡 Memory Tip

Think of 出口 as goods 'going out' (出) through a 'port' or 'gateway' (口), like a shipping port for exports. Visualize products leaving China through a harbor to remember its meaning.

📝 Usage Notes

出口 is used in formal and informal contexts, common in both spoken and written Chinese, especially in business, trade, economics, and news reports. It often appears in discussions about international commerce, policies, or company activities.

📖 Grammar Points

出口 is often used as a transitive verb followed by an object (e.g., 出口产品). It can be part of verb-object structures like 出口到 (export to) + destination. It may also function as a noun meaning 'exit' in other contexts, but here it's a verb.

🏯 Cultural Notes

In China's economic development, 出口 has been a key concept due to the country's role as a major global exporter. Policies like '出口退税' (export tax rebates) reflect its importance in boosting trade and growth.

🔄 Similar Words

出口 contrasts with 进口 (jìnkǒu, 'to import'), which means bringing goods into a country. It also differs from 输出 (shūchū), a broader term for 'output' or 'export' that can refer to non-trade contexts like data or culture, whereas 出口 is specifically for commercial goods.
