You'd have to hop in your time machine and travel back to 2007 and ask the original poster why he phrased it that way.

I would think it depends on the perspective of where it is written or who is writing it.

HPH, "Give that man a Macanudo." Long week, but good to see someone's paying attention. 2007, 2017, and most probably 2027, we'll still be seeing such inept prose. It's also been a long time since Ralph Estep and then Frank G. Eastman edited The Packard, but you got my point. No doubt this site attracts visitors from Dearborn, Flint, Coventry and Crewe at times, so let's set a better example. Packard's refinement extended beyond their engineering lab.

The much missed Hans Edwards, whom some of you may recall, told me of his then young friend who worked at Leonard Williams, only to depart on his bicycle to make a bank deposit for the agency, Wednesday, March 21st, 1945, while everyone out for lunch. That was when the V-2 rocket decimated the facilities.

Not really. Simplified, imported is to bring in while exported is to send out. It’s impossible to import to no matter the prospective.

As for the apostrophe, so many times people think it belongs before any s that I just ignore it. One case in point is saying 50’s which is a possessive that actually means belonging to 50 when they actually meant ‘50s, a contraction of sorts (the apostrophe substituting for 19) referring to the decade 1950.

Seventeen years ago, Dave (O_D) talked about RHD-Packards, sold by Leonard Williams but built in Canada. The following newspaper clippings confirm this report ("Made in Canada").

I think this is the point… The United States exported Packards. England imported Packards. The same is true today for many products. The United States imports millions of items from China. China exports those items to the United States.

When Mal made his explanation regarding the significance of the narrator's location at the moment of cross-border movement of goods, he was not concerned with the grammatical aspect. He simply pointed out the fact that it is an export from the perspective of someone who is resident in the supplying country and an import for someone who is resident in the supplied country. Mal did not use the word "to" in this context, and he did not refer to the original user of this word Packard53 (John F. Shireman), but quoted Mike (su8overdrive). The grammatical aspect ("to") that is subsequently criticized does not contradict Mal's explanation, but rather complements it.

Having agreed on the unnecessary apostrophe, the need to subjectivize the verb and the grammatically dubious combination of “imported and “to”, our attention should now turn to the remaining destination of the goods traffic, “England”. In 1934, Leonard Willams opened an additional showroom and a service station in Scotland, which, as we know, is not in England but borders on it.
