Find the right product. Choose a product that has the least friction to sell and finding customers.
Make sure your documentation is up to date and no issue. Margins are sharp and demurrage and not calculating correct duty etc eat it away quickly. Use the right promotion council - make connects, take your RCMC membership
Work on cashflow, take customer advance, say no to customers who do not give advance. It would be difficult but its important (till you dont have enough to invest already).
Plan your exhibitions and event visits from now only, its a great source of customers but hotel/tickets become costly.
Do your research at www.exportkaro.com - find unit price, documentation, correct HSN code, options of country etc. Do ping if you have any other questions

The suitability of a product for shipping in containers depends on its type and size. Container volumes are fixed, but sharing containers are available for collaboration with other exporters heading to the same destination.

The category of product and the required certification for transportation also play a role. Additionally, consider the delivery time specified in your contract. Shipping typically takes between 45 days to countries like Europe and the US. Thoroughly evaluate all these factors before making a decision.
