 Intermediate goods or producer goods or semi-finished products are goods which are under process goods, such as partly finished goods, used as inputs in the production of other goods including final goods. One affirm may make and then use intermediate goods, or make and then sell, or buy then use them. In the production process, intermediate goods either become part of the final product, or are changed beyond recognition in the process. This means intermediate goods are sold among industries for resale. Intermediate goods are not counted in a country's GDP, as that would mean double counting, as the final product only should be counted, and the value of the intermediate good is included in the value of the final good.3. U.S. and Chinese trade in goods with ACN countries by use, 2014 if intermediate goods are included in GDP, these goods will be counted in the calculation of GDP, which leads to the imprecise result. Therefore, the value added method can be used to calculate intermediate goods in GDP. This approach counts every phase of processing included in production of final goods. Characterization of intermediate goods as physical goods can be misleading, since, in advanced economies, about half of the value of intermediate inputs consist of services.4. Intermediate goods generally can be used in three different ways. The first way, a company makes and uses its own intermediate goods. The second way, a company manufactures intermediate goods and sell them to others. The last way, a company buys intermediate goods to produce either secondary intermediate goods or final goods.
