One of the hardest parts of exporting is breaking into new markets. Even if the product is strong and well-liked in its domestic market, approaching a new customer with a new set of needs is like starting all over again.

Understanding the structure of any new market and how it operates is key: Is it made up of boutiques and stores? What information does a buyer require in advance? What needs to be included in the pricing?

But it also helps to understand something about the country itself: What is its population? Is its economy strong? What tariffs and duties does it charge?
