What works · what doesn't.

✓ Success conditions

What works

  • Ensuring all certifications and documentation are in order before approaching EU buyers.
  • Starting with smaller trial orders to build confidence before scaling to larger volumes.
  • Leveraging sector-specific trade fairs and industry networks for mandate origination.

✗ Failure modes

What doesn't work

  • Approaching EU buyers without proper product certifications — EU buyers will not engage.
  • Underpricing to win initial orders — unsustainable and damages long-term relationships.
