There are no government restrictions. The only trick is getting customers. It would be very beneficial if you got a contact person there, a go between, even a partner. Should be trusted and traceable. Customers you can get from the internet then be sending via DHL etc. Be careful thence, You may get a customer who will guide you along from samples, to small consignments, to bigger consignments ( note all paid for as per agreement), then to the mother of all consignments which will never be paid and alas!! what a loss it might be. Always insist on getting a downpayment of 50% and price your goods such that even with the 50%, you have your profit. Above all alse, Guard thine heart with all diligence, because from it are issues of life... Prov4:23. Email: afroknight@ymail.com or domainagencies@yahoo.com

Challenge should be how to deliver them to the market - the export licenses, import licenses, mode of transport, customs clearances, distribution system etc. Price. What price will cover the costs of production, ensure a fair return and appeal to the market Promotion. Marketing. @GIGABITE seems to have covered only the first one and a little wee bit of the second. More importantly, isn't somebody else already doing this, in which case, what will be the differentiator?
