Which countries should I sell to?

Only you can make that decision based on information and advice available. Consider in-house information, knowledge (eg language capability), and consult your International Trade Team for advice and sources of information.

Do an explanatory visit e.g trade fair.
Look at the Sales Leads Service on the Trade UK website.
Use UK Trade & Investment Marketing Research Service to supply you with information to support high entry cost.
UK Trade & Investment Export Explorer Scheme may also be worth considering.
