Are You Ready to Export?
...
If you have increased sales or maintained your market share locally then you may want to consider exporting. Exporting may be the next logical step in your growth plan as it offers a chance to tap into markets not available locally.

In preparing your business for export you will need to have a solid exporting plan in place. This plan can only be developed after you have thoroughly researched your chosen market, including demand, demographics, and competition.

After conducting your market research you must also consider the logistics and legalities of exporting your product or service. This may include transportation costs, packaging and labeling requirements, pricing, tariffs and duties, business numbers and compliance with national and international standards.
