The need to establish an import or export kind of this this could be as a result of the increasing demand of raw materials for production activities in a particular country. However, establishing and managing an import or export kind of business is absolutely not an easy thing, There are several factors that can affect an export or import business, including:

* Economic conditions: Economic downturns or recessions in the country or region where a business is exporting to can reduce demand for its products, while economic booms can increase demand.

* Political stability: Unstable political environments or tensions between countries can create uncertainty and disrupt trade.

* Currency exchange rates: Fluctuations in exchange rates can impact the cost of exporting or importing goods. This is absolutely one of the most common problem hindering export and import businesses in some countries like Nigeria.

* Trade agreements and tariffs: Changes to trade agreements or the imposition of tariffs can affect the cost and competitiveness of a business's products in foreign markets.

Absolutely so many factors affect an import or export kind of business, one of the major effects or negativity that affect import or export kind of business is language differences and most of the times discrimination among them both countries. Due to the differentiation in language a particular business may not be able to carry out trading activities with another economy. And although there are certain ways to combat the problem of language differentiation example hiring an interpreter. But to some extent this is not effective.

Possible problem affecting export and import kind of business is political instability, political instability results in high cost of production as well as high cost of transporting raw materials from one place to another. When the cost of production increases it makes it hard for business organisations to transport raw materials from foreign countries into their own country or from their own country to foreign countries. Discrimination may also be another factor, when a particular countries discriminate another country there may be no possibility of trading activities resulting in entrepreneurs of the both countries.

Day after day, various kind of business is emanate into existence, and such kind of business may possibly include and import or export kind of business. However factors explained above is definitely what faces import or export kind of business for the one I would love to emphasize the most is language barrier. Language barrier is absolutely one of the major problems why businesses in Nigeria are unable to make marketing activities as well as import and export practices with countries such as China or Japan. Although there is an effective way of tackling this problem by adopting the service of a language interpreter but to be sincere this is not very much effective.

Another problem I will love to end for science is the problem of political instability and government inconsistency. Government in some countries like Nigeria are not consistent in helping export and import kind of business is to facilitate their activities such as providing social amenities and marketing facilities that can totally help in the export and import of raw materials as well as finished goods.

Before you start a business importing or exporting items, it's good to have an understanding of the market, especially on a retail scale, or under a mentor who does the same business. This will provide you with knowledge about what sells and what doesn't. You also know how to cope with competition, regulations and costs.

A friend of mine does mini importation of phone accessories and makes decent money with it. It was interesting to know that you also have to consider the weight of items being shipped and the shipping fees too. While items can be cheap in one area, the cost of transportation may not make it worth the stress.
