I’m one who carries for international trader (8)

I believe the answer is:

importer

'international trader' is the definition.

'i'm one who carries' is the wordplay.
'one who carries' becomes 'porter'.
'im'+'porter'='IMPORTER'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for importer that I've seen before include "One who brings in" , "Businessperson" , "Foreign dealer" , "A trader in foreign goods" , "One bringing in goods to country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
