The challenge

Exporting is different in every market.

Tariffs, documents, certifications and customs rules change with the product you sell and where you sell it.

Watch it work

From what you sell to who can help you sell it.

Start with your products. See the markets that buy them, pick from eighteen ways into a market, and follow the plan. Meridian answers from your project, and the network shows who can help.

How it works

How exporting works on Promote:Global

  1. Step 1: Choose a market

    See the countries that import your product, ranked on import value, recent growth and the duty you would pay: preferential where an agreement covers you, MFN where none does.

    Potential target markets in Promote:Global for fresh blueberries, HS 0810.40: the United States at USD 2.0B of imports in 2023, up 9%, MFN 0%; Spain at USD 227.9M, up 16%, MFN 4%; Canada at USD 311.2M, up 5%, MFN 0%.
  2. Step 2: Build the plan

    Each market becomes a project in six stages, from research to post-shipment, with the documents each stage needs and the next step named.

    The roadmap of the Export to South Africa project in Promote:Global: research, compliance, outreach and commercial complete, then shipment at 1 of 3 steps, the export pack assembled and booking road freight to Johannesburg via Beitbridge marked Next.
  3. Step 3: Find who can help

    Browse agencies, chambers, advisors and service providers by service. Or search the web for possible buyers and distributors in your market, with the source of each one named.

    The provider directory in Promote:Global, browsable by service category: a card to search the web for service providers when nobody listed fits, a Find an advisor card, and Logistics and freight, holding freight and logistics and warehousing and 3PL.

Meridian

An assistant that already knows the project.

Meridian, the built-in AI assistant, works from your products, your markets and your live project. It looks up the duty, the rule of origin and the paperwork for your route as it answers, and names the source it used.

Ask

  • Which markets have the best demand for my blueberries?
  • What tariffs and rules of origin apply into South Africa?
  • What’s blocking this project?

Do

  • Plan this project — proposed as cards, approved one by one

  • Add the export documents I’ll need — each with the reason it is needed

  • Search for possible buyers in this market — a live web search, every result with its source

Every plan carries a monthly allowance of AI actions, and the app shows what is left of it. Meridian is AI. Verify before acting.

Where the numbers come from

Built on trade data you can check.

UN Comtrade — what a market imported, by HS line and year · World Bank — GDP, population, inflation, trade openness, logistics · WITS · UNCTAD TRAINS — applied tariff rates at the six-digit line · USITC HTS · UK Trade Tariff — the duty a line pays into the US and the UK · Global Trade Alert — measures that changed the terms of a corridor · Afreximbank TRADAR — AfCFTA schedules and the phase-down

Duty rates are planning estimates, not customs rulings: a preferential rate depends on classification and origin, and the app says so on screen.

Firms write their own listings. We read every application, and some listings carry a mark after our own review. No mark is for sale. An introduction needs a yes on both sides.
