They need shelf-ready packing, a retail price and a restock story. Use platform reviews as proof, but the contact is the local shop. Method: overseas retail stores.

City you can already ship to. Product term = the SKU that already sells, not “home goods”. Channel = retail, then wholesale. Solo sequence: solo exporter workflow.
