Direct: This means that the export process is completely carried out by the exporting company; It means that all the steps, including documentation, market research, financial transactions, etc., are known to the producer.
Indirect: The sale is not made by the company that produces the export goods. This means that the exporting company is not responsible for the foreign trade of the product in any of its stages and leaves this work to experienced companies in this field.
These activities have a great impact on the economy of a country, which shows its potential in the industry sector as well as its shortcomings. Therefore, exporting is selling and sending products and services from one country to another.
