I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'items around for business buying from abroad' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'i'm person' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'porter' (porter is a kind of person).
'im'+'porter'='IMPORTER'

'taking' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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