1,200 foreign companies account for 90 percent of Ireland's exports.  Dell PCs, Viagra impotence drug, Coca-Cola sugar concentrate and Intel computer processors are among the lead categories from primarily American-owned firms, that dominate Irish exports, while many Irish-owned firms fail to make an impact in foreign markets.\n\nIreland does export some arms and military equipment, though it is not a huge producer.  \n\nAdditionally Ireland exports jewellery (our wedding rings came from Ireland), clothing, wines, etc.\n\nI hope this helps.

Your best bet is to have a clear understanding of their culture, their priorities and their hot buttons, just like any other market.  If you know their needs and can offer good solutions, the sale is easy.

You should first find a competitive productive activity (manufacturing or natural resources) in your location and then try to establish a relationship with the providers, this activity may be, for example, artcrafts.  then you have to visit craftman in your location and show interest in buying their products.\n\nInternational clients are highly demanding, so you must carefully consider build a poll of providers that guarrantee you: quality, quantities and reliability.\n\nOnce you have selected the provider then you have the first half (but the most difficult is to come)  now you have to build trust in potential buyers abroad of the product you selected to export.\n\nIn my experience I founded very useful the help of my country embassy in other countries, as well as this I highly recommend you to build an online (and printed) catalog. You should be extra careful with details in those marketing materials, NO typos, no false statements, try to be as accurate as possible and, of course, try to have those materials in at least two languages. Also be ready with quotation templates and check the payment method best suits you. again trust is important in this regard.\n\nIn this stage you may find in statistics about export of your country (given in any Economy Ministery website) about top foreign countries that most likely buy the kind of products you choose to sell from your location, keep it simple but be persistent as it takes a lot of work to get the first order, however, once you start, yopu will be in one of the most lucratives activities of the world and prosper you, as well as your family.\n\nAs you don´t give further details in your question I assume that you are starting from scratch, so, don´t worry, try to strenght relations with your friends and family, and the friends of your friends and the family of your family, try to find in your personal network those fellows that may help you connect the chain (find the best provider or find the first client) in any case prepare your selling speech for each case and be ready to show leadership and motivation, remember that doing business is a human activity and in involves inter-personal relationship skills.\n\nAlso, remember to keep it simple, export follows the same principle of local selling, you buy as cheap as possible and sell as expensive as possible (your profit will be the difference)\n\nbuy cheap and sell expensive (but be fair in both sides)\n\nDon´t kill the gold eggs chicken by trying to get all the eggs at once, keep you baance and try to not be so greedy.\n\nBeware of international scams!.  In my website www.somosnegocios.com  I have many recommendations for doing business internationally, check in the FAQ section, If you have further questions feel free to ask me.\n\nBest regards\n\nAlejandro

From the perspective of someone in the US occasionally looking for suppliers abroad, think how they often search for business partners from other countries:\n\n1. Make sure your company is listed in databases kept by your trade attaches in your embassies. Many companies first go-to place when they want suppliers from abroad are the respective embassies of the countries they want to deal with. Contact your department of foreign affairs to check how to get your name in their listings.\n\n2. Be in databases such as Thomas Register Global http://www.tremnet.com  is the most complete, up-to-date directory of global industrial suppliers and product information\n\n3. Participate in international trade fairs supported by your government, whether based in Thailand or international. Trade shows are your best bet to meeting potential clients from other countries. Even if you don't advertise and can only do this, make sure you do trade shows. Trade shows can connect you to the right audience you need.

There are a lot of international laws that govern these things.  I would contact a bank that works internationally and an international business lawyer to help you get setup.\n\nGood luck with your venture

I would say use a courier, DHL offer a worldwide service and a tracking service. \n\nWith customs and import taxes, it will depend on each individual country and how many are being shipped. You will need to familiarise yourself with various countries rules. In the UK the website would be www.hmrc.gov.uk. The link below is for a PDF file with information about import valuations. http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/downloadFile?contentID=HMCE_CL_000230\n\nYou may also wish to consider that most countries have different keyboard layouts and that laptops with "foreign" layouts are not popular in most countries. \n\nAre they high spec laptops?? Are they cheap?? As a retailer of computers in the UK, I can purchase laptops from numerous sources, but the profit margins are quite small. The cheapest laptops here (celeron/256/14"VGA)  are £399 (US $725). While there are some that sell for £1500, the majority sell between £500-£700. \n\nFinally, if you would like to contact me, please do. And if you want to send me a free laptop (to test the customs rules), it would be gratefully received ;)

First you probably need a distribute.  They buy in high numbers and deliver them to various outlets.  In your case it most likely would a company that imports many different items to distribute to others.  They know the laws and taxes and are used to doing this.

Dear friend\n\nNormally export business is an expansion of the domestic business. If you have products which you feel are acceptable abroad you must have got some information of the market. Not only you should have knowledge of the market and of the product that you propose to export you must also have the capacity to procure the product in a marketable lot. If you are exporting in small quantities you may not get a good price and the economics of the order will not be favourable to you. \n\nHowever if you have a product you can take the help of the Chambers of Commerce who will assist you in finding the probable markets for the same. Take part in some international exihibitons to display your products. May be you will be required to send some products to your prospective buyers as free trade samples.\n\nBetter still, if you can find an exporter who is actually exporting the product, please make an entry in the market by exporting your product thru him. This will ascertain the acceptability of your product abroad and with the experience you can venture on your own.\n\nBest wishes

Best bet would be to compile it yourself.  In US, you can use yellowpages.com to get a listing and contact information for "import/export" companies

Some member states require a visa, others don't.  Check with the consulate of the country you wish to visit.  As for moving around within EU once you're there, you need to ask about that too.
