Introduction to the Export Guide
The Export Guide is a research guide concerned with the initial stage of export planning for goods and the Export Guide is meant to guide the research in such a way that the aspects, which can be research with the smallest amount of effort, are studied first. The reason behind this research priority order is that it may be considered resource saving. It is noteworthy that the areas, which are of interest and which can be researched with the smallest amount of effort, vary with the export project and the Export Guide contents and research-order vary accordingly. The suggested research order is thereby barely a suggestion. This dynamic feature of the Export Guide is not unique for the Export Guide provided in this paper but can be seen as a general feature for all export guides. Export research need to be tailored to the individual export project and the appropriate research-order vary with the project:'The company should not hesitate to modify the plan...'(www.unzco.com/basicguide/c1.html) In other words, the Export Guide is merely meant to serve as a guide in the export research process.

Level 1: Export Readiness
Level 2: Trade Conditions
Level 3: Foreign Market Analysis
