exports

Sells to foreigners

Exports are goods or services sent to another country for sale.

A nation's exports represent what it sells abroad, as opposed to imports, which come in: Oil is their primary export.

The verb export means to send products out of a country or, more broadly, to spread something outward: Hollywood exports American culture worldwide.
