WHAT IS EXPORT
Export is the sale or supply of goods and services from one country to another.
There are two main types: direct export, when the company independently sells abroad, and indirect export, when the intermediary services of other companies are used.
Online export is the sale of goods and services abroad through Internet platforms. This allows companies to reach international audiences without the need for a physical presence in markets, simplifying the export process and reducing associated costs.
Exporting can increase sales, expand markets and reduce dependence on the domestic market.
Risks include currency fluctuations, customs barriers, political instability in the importing country and differences in legislation.
HOW TO START EXPORTING
You can start exporting by studying the market, identifying and finding potential buyers, adapting products to the requirements and standards of the importing country and preparing the necessary documents, including product certificates. It is also important to develop a strategy for logistics and delivery of goods.
Basic documents comprise the invoice, transport documents, certificate of origin and, if necessary, licenses and permits.
Export activity can be influenced by the World Trade Organization (WTO), regional trade agreements and bilateral treaties between countries.

To find a buyer abroad easily companies can use online platforms for B2B and B2C trade platforms, participate in international exhibitions and fairs, and also use the services of export consultants, agents and distributors.
