Types of export
Regarding the types of export of goods, we divide them into three categories based on their export license:
1. **Allowed goods**: These types of goods, without the need for an export license, can be supplied through customs procedures. For example, goods having human health certificates, livestock and vegetable standards, etc., are recognized as authorized export goods.
2. **Conditional goods**: these types of goods need to obtain a customs license for their export. After the approval of the relevant ministries and notification by the Ministry of Commerce to the customs, the export of these goods will be possible. This step usually requires the exporter to refer to the relevant ministry.
3. **Prohibited goods**: The export of this category of goods is prohibited due to special reasons such as sanctions or special conditions in the destination countries and they do not need an export license.
Methods for export of goods
The export of goods can be classified in different manners, including:
1. **Definite exports**: In this type of export, goods are exported for sale or consumption abroad and there is no need to pay customs duties and other taxes by the exporter.
2. **Temporary Exports**: This type of export is usually used to participate in international exhibitions, and if not sold, the goods are returned to the country of origin. In this case, the exporter gives an amount as a deposit to the customs, which will be returned after the goods are back.
3. **Export of goods by direct method**: In this method, the goods are exported directly to the destination country and all export stages are the responsibility of the exporter.
4. **Indirect export of goods**: In this method, by using intermediaries, the goods are exported to the destination country and the profit is divided between the intermediary and the exporter. This method usually reduces export costs.

Export procedure
The export of goods includes a series of related and sequential processes that must be performed carefully in order to export goods to a destination country. In the following, we will introduce the main stages of export:
1. **Export Empowerment**: At this stage, the exporter must provide the necessary infrastructure, resources, and capabilities to export the intended goods. This includes obtaining export documents and permits, securing financial resources, conducting relevant training, and updating required processes and technologies.
2. **Target market studies**: At this stage, the exporter must analyze the target markets and identify their needs and demands. This includes studying competitors, local and international demands, pricing, and destination market conditions.
3. **Export marketing and negotiations and commercial contracts**: In this stage, the exporter advertises and promotes his products in the target markets using appropriate marketing methods. Then, negotiations with international buyers take place and commercial contracts are concluded.
4. **Export operations (transportation, clearance, customs formalities)**: In this stage, the goods are prepared and sent to the destination. This includes packing, loading, shipping, clearance, and export formalities.
5. **Investment return services**: At this stage, the exporter deals with the management and follow-up of financial and accounting matters related to exports, including investment return and financial management in foreign offices.
These are the general stages of the export process. However, it should be noted that each of these steps requires full knowledge of the export laws and regulations in the destination and importing countries.
