7. Logistics

Although the potential demand and market conditions are important measurements, a key in your success will be successfully negotiating the logistical issues that range from transportation to payment methods.

Learn everything you can about getting your product to a foreign market—or bringing one here—so you know what your costs will be and learn any trouble spots.

Transportation is the most obvious factor, but other elements can include everything from costs for translations and packing requirements.

Another, outstanding source is the Department of Commerce's Export.gov Web site (www.export.gov) which even features an online export questionnaire that will rate a company's export readiness.
