The supply chain of the remanufacturing industry transcends borders. Some companies have international centers for remanufacturing that import cores from abroad and export remanufactured goods across the globe. For example, Caterpillar and Komatsu have established centers that remanufacture parts of heavy equipment out of domestically sourced as well as imported cores. This paper reviews the existing remanufacturing business with an emphasis on the international trade of cores and remanufactured goods. It also examines how trade regulations have become an obstacle to remanufacturing and looks at efforts made by free trade agreements to reduce these barriers. The reasons behind such trade regulations and possible scenarios for promoting internationally efficient remanufacturing activities are also discussed.
