Selecting a new country to export to requires time, money and tenacity. You can do initial research on potential markets (desk or secondary research) in any country using the library, industry and government web resources.

However, once you have shortlisted your markets you need to get a feel for them (referred to as field or primary research). This may involve more than one trip to the country to talk to people and develop relationships, which requires money, good communication skills, reliability and patience.
