Many export transactions, particularly first-time export transactions, begin with the receipt of an enquiry from abroad, thruogh some trade portals or through some friends,  followed by a request for a quotation or a pro forma invoice.

A quotation describes the product, states a price for it, sets the time of shipment, and specifies the terms of sale and terms of payment. Since the importer (buyer) may or may not be familiar with the product, the description of it in an overseas quotation usually must be more detailed than in a domestic quotation. The description should include the following:

Export financing is often a key factor in a successful sale. Contract negotiations and closures are important, but at the end of the day, your company must get paid.

Exporters naturally want to get paid as quickly as possible, while importers usually prefer to delay payment until they have received or resold the goods.

The way your company chooses to export its products can have a significant effect on its export plan and specific marketing strategies. The basic distinction among approaches to exporting relates to the company’s level of involvement in the export process. There are at least four approaches, which may be used alone or in combination:
1. Passively filling orders from domestic buyers who then export the product.

These sales are indistinguishable from other domestic sales as far as the original seller is concerned. Someone else has decided that the product in question meets foreign demand. That party takes all the risk and handles all of the exporting details, in some cases without even the awareness of the original seller. (Many companies take a stronger interest in exporting when they discover that their product is already being sold over-seas.)
2. Seeking out domestic buyers who represent foreign end users or customers.

Many Nigerian and foreign corporations, general contractors, foreign trading companies, foreign government agencies, foreign distributors and retailers, and others in the purchase for export. These buyers are a large market for a wide variety of goods and services. In this case a company may know its product is being exported, but it is still the buyer who assumes the risk and handles the details of exporting.

Exporting can be described as the legitimate transfer of goods and services across national boundaries with the principal motive of making profit.

The world has become a global village, as it is inter-connected through trade, communication, and investment.

Now lets talk about charcoal, do you know that charcoal is a cheaper alternative domestic and industrial fuel which enjoys good demand especially in temperate regions of the world. Charcoal is produced from wood and the technology has been going on for well over centuries. The preference of charcoal to wood stems is from the fact that it is neater, occupies less space and has thermal capacity of 1,700kg/kg which is double that of wood. While still burning, it is usually smokeless and therefore becomes popular for heating up houses during winter around the world. It is also used extensively in industries for manufacture of lime and cement, extraction of of metal, forging and production of high quality casting etc.
