Exporting means selling goods and services from one country to another. This process is one of the main factors of international trade and global economy. Export can include all kinds of products from manufactured goods, artifacts, technical to specialized services, industrial equipment, etc.

The most important reason for exporting is to increase sales to international markets and earn foreign currency. Countries may engage in exports for reasons such as producing more than domestic needs, the ability to provide specific products or advanced technologies, the need to expand target markets and earn more money. Also, exporting can help exchange technology, promote brand name and increase international reputation.
