    Is exporting only for large companies? This is one of the myths that most holds back SMEs. With a solid product, 4 pillars are needed to start: 1️⃣ Your “ID” for customs. 2️⃣ A well-chosen Incoterm: to avoid leaving to chance who pays for insurance or assumes transport risk. 3️⃣ International sales contract: with a clear jurisdiction clause.
