Imports business reduced by half reorganised in one-sided arrangement (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mobius strip

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

'one-sided arrangement' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'imports business reduced by half reorganised' is the wordplay.
'reduced by half' indicates taking half.
'reorganised' indicates an anagram.
'business' halved is 'busi'.
'imports'+'busi'='importsbusi'
'importsbusi' anagrammed gives 'MOBIUS STRIP'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for mobius strip that I've seen is " Surface with one continuous side, formed by joining the ends of a rectangle after twisting it - I stir up mobs (anag)".)
