Use the factsheets to pick a market to investigate, then work out the cost of shipping and supporting one product there.
THE SOURCED NEWS
What’s in the updated factsheets
The 6 November refresh brings newer published data into the government’s collection of UK trade and investment factsheets. The guides break down trade with individual partners and include figures on goods and services, and on the kinds of products traded. The collection also explains that figures can be revised.
Each factsheet describes trade at a national level. It can help you see which markets to investigate, but it does not tell you how many buyers want your specific product or what your parcel will cost to deliver. Check the data period and product category before comparing countries.
SELLERBUNDLE PRACTICAL ANALYSIS
SellerBundle: cost one small test
Choose one product that already sells reliably and compare two markets. Check what buyers pay for similar items, what your carrier charges for the packed size, and what it would cost to replace or return an order. Use the sales channel’s rules and the destination’s official guidance to check what charges the seller or customer would pay.
Write down the price you would need to charge after shipping, fees and an allowance for returns. If that price still looks competitive, try a small batch and measure delivery times and support requests before committing more stock.
