Types of goods exports
Exporting goods, as one of the main pillars of international trade, is done in various ways. In this article, we will discuss the types of exports so that by better understanding these methods, you can choose the best strategy for your business.
1. Direct export
In this method, the manufacturer or seller communicates directly with the foreign buyer and manages all the export processes themselves. This method requires sufficient knowledge of international laws, marketing, and transportation.
2. Indirect exports
In this method, companies use intermediaries or trading companies to export goods. This method is suitable for companies that do not have sufficient experience in exporting and is less risky.
3. Temporary export
In this type of export, goods are temporarily sent to another country and returned to the country of origin after performing certain operations (such as exhibition or repair).
4. Definite export
This method is the most common type of export in which goods are permanently shipped to the destination country and the final sale takes place.
5. Joint Venture Export
In this method, domestic and foreign companies partner together to supply goods to international markets. This method helps in sharing resources and risks.
6. Electronic export
As technology advances, many companies are exporting goods through online platforms and e-marketplaces like Amazon or Alibaba. This method reduces costs and makes it easier to access global markets.
7. Export of services
Exports are not limited to physical goods. Technical, engineering, consulting, and educational services can also be exported to other countries.
Each of these methods has its own advantages and challenges. Choosing the right method depends on the type of product, target market, and company capabilities. To succeed in exporting, you can use the advice of reputable companies such as Mehraman Pishro Tejarat Company to find the best solution for developing your business.
If you are looking to enter global markets, understanding the types of exports is the first step to success. With careful planning and the experience of experts, you can easily access international markets.
Steps for exporting goods
Step 1) Marketing and identifying the target market
Marketing is the first and most crucial step in the export process. In this step, the exporter must carefully examine international markets, identify customer needs, and analyze competitors in the market. This step involves extensive research on customs regulations, quality standards, and buyer preferences in the destination country. The use of digital tools and international networks can help identify business opportunities.
Step 2) Get a business card
To operate in the field of export, obtaining a business card is a legal requirement. This card is issued through the Central Authentication System of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce and allows the exporter to officially enter international trade. Obtaining a business card requires providing identity, financial and business documents, and the process may take several weeks.
Step 3) Preparation and submission of proforma (pre-invoice)
After identifying the market and the buyer, the exporter must prepare a proforma invoice. This document contains complete details of the goods, price, payment terms, delivery time and other relevant information. The proforma helps the buyer make his final decision and forms the basis for subsequent contracts.
Step 4) Signing an export contract
At this stage, the exporter and the buyer must enter into a formal contract that includes all the terms and obligations of the parties. This contract should be drawn up in accordance with international rules (such as Incoterms) to avoid disputes. Issues such as payment method, delivery terms, and the responsibilities of each party should be clearly stated in the contract.
Step 5) Preparing and packaging the goods
The goods must be packaged in accordance with international standards and the needs of the target market. Proper packaging not only protects the goods during transportation, but also adds to the attractiveness of the product to the buyer. At this stage, the goods are prepared based on the selected transportation method (air, sea or land).
Step 6) Obtaining an inspection certificate and certificate of origin
In some cases, buyers request a certificate of inspection of the goods to ensure the quality and quantity of the goods. This certificate is issued by reputable inspection companies. Also, a certificate of origin, which indicates the country of manufacture of the goods, must be obtained from the Chamber of Commerce. These documents are necessary for customs clearance of the goods at the destination.
Step 7) Choosing an international shipping company
Choosing a reputable and experienced shipping company is one of the most important decisions in the process of exporting goods. The transportation method (air, sea or land) should be selected according to the type of goods, costs and delivery time. The shipping company must be able to deliver the goods to the destination on time and without damage.
Step 8) Customs clearance
At this stage, the goods must be cleared by the customs office of origin. This process involves submitting the necessary documents such as proforma, certificate of origin, invoice, and packing list to the customs office. After determining the customs value and paying the relevant duties and taxes, the goods are allowed to leave the country.
Step 9) Transfer funds and settle the account
After the goods are shipped, the exporter must receive the proceeds from the sale. It is recommended to use secure methods such as international banking systems, foreign exchange transfers or letters of credit. This step must be done carefully to avoid financial problems.
Step 10) Sending the goods to the destination
Finally, the goods are handed over to the shipping company and shipped to the final destination. After the goods arrive at their destination, the buyer must clear them from the customs of their country. This stage is the end of the export process and if all the steps are followed, the exporter can achieve success in international markets.
By following these steps and using the experience of reputable companies such as Mehraman Pishro Tejarat Company, you can manage the process of exporting goods in a professional and successful manner.
