A lot of people getting hammered probably.  Especially if they are sending to Tulsa.

This is really a topic where we need to know the product being consumed. I'll try to give a general overview.\n\nOh, wait, you want an article. Never mind.

If you have some volume shipments, you can find a broker or forwarder to ship them via ocean.  This is much less expensive than shipping via air.  YOu will need to make sure the containers are packed securely so you don't have water damage, but a good shipping company can help you determine what kind of packaging you need.  \n\nAlso, keep in mind that most countries have quotas on clothing items.  Before you ship to a country, be sure to check on their quotas.  You will need to know the tariff or classification of your product - you can do this by searching on the HTSUS (Harmonized tariff schedule - US)- you can find it at this link - www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/bychapter.\n\nYou didn't say what kind of textiles you are exporting, but I assume you will find your classification in chapters XI or XII- a broker or forwarder can also help you if you are unsure. \n\nIf you are mainly shipping small parcel, check into opening a DHL or UPS account.  DHL is generally cheaper, but UPS also can offer a lot of options.\n\nYou will have to provide a commercial invoice for your goods, and if you are shipping to certain countries, you will want to check into free trade agreements to provide certificates of origin.  A good source for this is http://www.usitc.gov/ OR http://www.export.gov/.  You can even call them for help in marketing your items.\n\nGood luck!

Firstly you have to evaluate yourself that you have the super talent of selling goods! Why? Because you are going to sell a second hand goods, especially computers! If you have the ability, then you have the capital to buy in bulge, because you have to buy the whole lot if a company is going to renew their computers!\nThen you have to have a "sharp nose" where a company wants to renew their computers!\nThen you have the ability to clean, and to repair those computers to appears as new as possible. Usually you will end up to 75%~80%, because you have to salvage the bad one! Less than that you loose! Then another problem arise, the unsaleable became junk. If you can find a way to recycle it maybe you could have good profit here!\nIf you have exporting experience you can exported it to the third world countries with a good profit. But be honest if you want to have repeat orders!\nGood Luck, God Bless You!

Export your succesfull domestic product to a foreign market.\nWell, quite a hard decision.\nThere are a lot of facts that your company should consider and evaluate.\nAs some one already mentioned, you need to be careful and plan the incursion to the new market. Thats with some business and management tools as market research (customer profile, interest, competition of course, etc), cost impact, company capability, production capacity, product adecuations, customs and regulations for your product at new market, for mention some.\nI can tell you more especific about customs and regulations. And I can tell you that if you finally decide to try an export you can even arrange the sell with INCOTERM's, so you can delimitate your company liability and risks.\nFor further information or guideness I may help you if you contact me, if you dont mind I'm in Mexico.\nGood luck with your project.\nGreetings from Mexico.

As someone who thought about the QVC route, and being the manufacturer of that item, I decided against it.\n\nThe criteria with which QVC chooses products is pretty general, but make no mistake- you'll give up your margin for volume. I decided I didn't want to sell just for the sake of sales and decided the reward wasn't worth the time and effort.\n\nYou'll notice that very few items- even in their 'craft' segment, are made by the people that sell them. They are usually farmed out to high production facilities in China or Indonesia or Korea. Not to say that your particular item is a craft item, but virtually any item must be readily available in gigantic volume and you'll get a net margin of perhaps 2%.\n\nI imagine you have already checked with them about the selection process...

That depends entirely on the product.

Not that I'm aware.  Just curious, though:  What illegal drugs do you think we would be exporting?

List the types of thing that your sales and production are dependent on.  What internal and external factors will effect business?\n\nCreate your list without organisation and later you can organise your list. Look for orthogonality (exporting is in my list, what not importing?)\n\nHere my starting list \nLook at competitors  annual reports for factors you should be considering\n\n  directional strategy. \n  sales portfolio analysis. \n  corporate synopsis. \n  franchising.\n  government regulation \n  exporting. \n  licensing. \n  production sharing. \n  how to expand? \n  vertically integrate. \n  horizontally integrate. \n  product fit. \n  market size \n  margin\n  market support\n  cash flow availability \n  product/market segments \n  product consumption rate \n  raw material dependency/labor pool \n  opportunity matrix

most likely not, they have strict guidelines as to bringing food into another country... I went to canada a while ago, they were more concerned about the food and stuff that was in the cooler, than the beer I was bringing back

I think it woudl sure be a wake up call for the Middle East if suddenly they had a product that wasn't in so much demand! Consdering their whole economy is based on oil sales, they would be in deep.... I think it would be cool to go fuel up with a tank of Jim Beam! Even south of the border could start making more money, how much for a tank of Tequila? I know of several people that use bio-diesel, and just love being able to bypass fueling stations.

it depends on what type of package you want to pack that product in, and on the nature of that product as well.\n\nIs it fargile?\nDoes it spill or leak?\netc...\n\nThere are hundreds of methods to do so, the most important thing if you can reply with the description of that product, and its characteristics.

A logistic partner will know the kind of product you intend to ship out. That way, they can help you to get the product there, intact.\n\nWith a "partner", you can work out a 'cost' were it it mutually beneficial to both party.\n\nIf your business is large enough, your partner 'free' to concentrate in your core business.\n\nHope this is useful
