export quality

Meets foreign standards

Export quality describes goods produced to meet the higher standards required for international markets.

Products labeled export quality are typically superior to those sold domestically—better materials, stricter quality control, finer finishing.

The term implies that foreign buyers demand more than local consumers will accept: These mangoes are export quality, not the bruised ones we keep for ourselves.

Figuratively, it can describe anything meeting elevated standards.
