How do imported commodities affect GDP?

Hi!

I'm new to economics, and still don't have a grasp of some of the basic concepts.

If a Norwegian store sells clothing for 10,000$ a month, but all the clothes are produced in Bangladesh, and the store imports them for $2000$ a month, what is the store's net contribution to Norway's GDP?

Thanks in advance! Feel free to ELI5.

GDP = Consumption + Investments + Government Spending + Net Export (Exports - Imports).

Since Consumption would increase with $10,000 and Net Exports would decrease with $2,000, the change in GDP is +$8,000.
