It has become exceedingly common for companies to do business internationally because modern methods of communication have made this very easy. In addition, many Liberian companies are now operating across international borders. This makes it necessary for them to engage the services of international air freight companies so that they can carry on exporting goods without any interruptions.

Liberia is a country richly endowed with mineral resources and a favourable climate for agriculture. However, it is still considered one of the poorest countries in the world, owing to political unrest and economic mismanagement. Liberias trade also bears the impact of two successive civil wars (1989-96 and 1999-2003). Due to an underdeveloped industrial sector, the country has an unfavorable balance of trade.

According to the 2006 estimates of the CIA World Fact book, Liberias exports stand at US$1.197 billion. The country ranks 144 in the world in terms of total export volumes. Due to an underdeveloped industrial sector, Liberia exports highly depend on agricultural productivity. The major items of export for Liberia are rubber, diamond, timber, iron, coffee and cocoa.

These companies also operate as customs brokers and they help export companies with the large amount of documentation required to ensure that the goods make it across a country's borders without any interruption or delay.

If you are planning to export goods to Liberia you can consider the steps discussed in this procedure.
