Do you think that an Import/Export business that will export products from Panama to the Caribbean Islands and possibly south America will be a good idea? It will be based in Panama and in 3 caribbean Islands and south america. Does it sound feasible?

Yes. Using the Free Trade Zone in Colon, (the second largest in the world - after Hong Kong) you can drop ship in container sized shipments more efficiently and at less cost than any other port to other port cities in the Caribbean or South America.

(You might also consider shipping from Colon to Limon, Costa Rica’s only Caribbean Port. Costa Rica and Panama have just signed a free trade agreement.)

BUT…it does depend on what kind of goods you are selling and what the market is in each of the three islands that you wish to sell to. Will you be competitive? Do you have a product that they want?

Do you have sales reps in each island? Or a sales rep who will travel and sell. Nothing can happen until you have a sales order. And it takes shoe leather to get the order when you’re new.

After you get buy-sell relations started, and get return orders, you will have a stable business.

There are many of this type operating out of Colon, taking advantage of the location and the Free Trade aspect.

Good luck! It’s a good idea.

My Fiancee lives in the Philippines, and is interested in having a small import export business between the USA and the Philippines. We're looking for resources to guide us in the proper business procedures.

Books, Websites, Ebooks, or any resources would be greatly appreciated, especially if you have experience with them.

Thank you!
Currrently product details are unknown. My fiancee is visiting with family, friends, and business owners looking at possible products. Also, they are looking at Ebay to determine the sellability of products.

I recommend reading the articles:

I am importing a few products from the Philippines. Shipping cost is high, and a large box of items could set you back P15,000-25,000 pesos (around $300-$500). If you talk of crates, so much more expensive. I suggest your fiance, aside from looking for products, actually start looking for brokers that can help them.

In my experience, eBay is not the best marketplace for them, especially if you talk of handicraft items. I've never had much luck selling Philippine products on ebay. Buyers are not familiar with the products, there's little demand for it. Shell jewelry boxes from Cebu for example, with matching picture frames are great looking - but I can never sell them on the first listing. Sometimes it takes me 5-10 relists to dispose of the item. I even tried selling papaya soap which is very popular in the Philippines, only to find limited buyers on ebay.

The only thing that sells fast for me from the Philippines are vintage Philippine postcards (circa early 1900s), freshwater and South Sea pearl jewelries, and antique items (Ifugao, Maranaw, and other ethnic tribes).

Thailand is a better place to get products. I have no problem selling pewter liquor holders from Thailand or their jewelries. I also import a lot of benjarong jars, and I can sell them real fast. Even batik paintings sell faster.
