The study focus on the triangular trade, or "bridge model", barely studied because it is difficult to measure. Therefore, the aim of this research is to understand the chain of international re-sales among continents in order to achieve businesses, strategic alliances, trade balances, inter-and intra-industry cooperation and know-how transfers. The results are based on the review of the academic literature and the study of successful triangulation. Consequently, the results obtained were ambivalent; in the re-export trade is clear that the discrepancies and distortions of trilateral trade statistics are not caused by the use of an intermediary. In conclusion, there is a need to generate a triangular model with high replication capacity in several countries, as well as reference and feedback matrixes with examples of commercial triangulation.
