Key steps:

Platform selection:

B2C: Amazon eBay、 AliExpress is suitable for retail; Independent websites (Shopify+social media traffic) can create brands.

B2B: Alibaba International and Global Resources focus on bulk transactions.

Localized operation:

Language and cultural adaptation: Product description and customer service should conform to the habits of the target market (such as Middle Eastern preference for cash on delivery).

Compliance: Understand the certifications of various countries (such as EU CE, US FDA) to avoid the risk of return shipping.
