How are the domestic sellers and buyers of a good affected if a country starts importing the good?

What will be an ideal response?

If a country starts importing the good, buyers can buy the good at a lower price than the domestic price. Therefore, buyers gain. On the other hand, sellers face competition because of a lower world price, which reduces the quantity they can sell. Therefore, sellers lose.
