Embarking on the stormy seas of export services and charting a course can be overwhelming when navigating foreign regulations and shipping requirements.
Quite frankly, it can feel like you're
drowning in the details.
Depending where you're shipping to, there are different requirements and regulations that are crucial to follow. Here are a few things you'll want to consider:
What are the Incoterms (terms of sale) with my buyer?
Are you responsible for the export customs clearance?
Do you know the import product requirements for the final destination country?
