The act or process of sending goods from one country to be sold in another country.
From Latin 'exportare' (to carry out) + '-ation' (the action or process). The term became common in commercial English during the age of exploration when international trade expanded.
The triangular trade of the 1600s-1700s was a horrific system where exportation wasn't just goods—Europeans exported manufactured items to Africa, then enslaved people to the Americas, then sugar and rum back to Europe.
