Our total imports are 9.5% of our GDP.
So if Dell "imports" a PC for $800, installs Windows on it, and sells it for $1000 what impact does that have on our GDP? $1000 growth?
I'm curious to know. But this one is a special case as computers have a "multiplier" associated with them that's on the order of 8 times. So a $1000 PC sale could register as much as $8000 in "GDP growth."
