exportation
Sending goods abroad
Exportation is the act or process of sending goods or commodities to another country for sale or trade.
The word is more formal than export and appears mainly in legal, regulatory, or trade contexts: laws governing the exportation of controlled substances, the exportation of timber from the Pacific Northwest.
Export serves most everyday purposes.
