Good Luck!  I work for a major telecom and our folks who define IT standards are almost anti-opensource.  I get the impression that the decision makers are under the impression that if it doesn't anything, it can't be a decent product.

keep an open mind and see what's out there!\n\nwith this company below a USA opportunity is brought right to your doorstep!\nbecause 90% of this US company's revenue comes from international business...the domestic market in USA is literally virgin!\n\nget involved in a successful organisation (preferably a public corporation) that itself is involved in the 3 Power Trends driving the world right now:\n- the Internet\n- products used by the "Baby Boomer" population\n- & true GLOBAL Distribution!!\n\nhttp://www.teaminmotion.net/guest.html\n(install Flash player beforehand)\n\ncheck it out and email me (click Nick on left)\n\nyour time spent on it, may set you up for a long time to come.\n\ni'm the only one in SG involved at the moment...& legally.\njoin in Early for endless possibilities.\n(in fact, many countries/states are virgin markets!)\n\nonly once in every 10-20 years does one chance upon a company going into momentum phase of this magnitude!\n...like buying into Microsoft stock before Windows was invented!

JIT is possible in India.  There is sufficent infrastructure to maintain predictable operations along a value chain.  Like anywhere, it just depends on what the product/service is and where the activites are being performed.

Persons in countries need trade, to ensure an effective work-sharing and specialisation in solving tasks. Further, it stimulates development and give the people something to strive for and through this make progress. The dramatic improvement in living conditions for hundreds of millions of Asians would have been much more difficult without the Western world buiyng the products. Intellectual property in one place can lead to new inventions in other places. What would computers outside of US have been without MS and Intel and what would US have been without imported oil and imported cheap quality products? As people need this, countries, consisting of people, need it as well.

Import export restriction, plus exchange of currency problems and legal problems such as liability issues, insurance coverage.........\n\nMost companies are not structured to deal with individuals, they deal with their appointed dealer only by legally binding agreement.

try government agencies like the CIA, many of the biggest business consulting companies in the country have international business like Booz Allen Hamilton. www.boozallen.com/cn

Just give you some thinking direction instead of direct answer which I thought might be inspiring too!\n(1)If you are from Danish, you might know some major governmental service opening information channel, then \nyou may access to that throught Internet and search for international trade related links, and I think your government might have some well informed sources which is better than heading aimlessly.\n(2)Not sure whether U.S.consulate and commercial cancellar do function as window for business referral and business enquiry for oversea agency & distribution.\n\nJust try, you will benefit from exploring.

There are none.  You need a different service provider in each country.

Yes.  There still is a lot of demand for IT people, so you can get a work visa if you have IT experience.

Yarnlady is correct. This is certainly not something that can be easily br adequately answered in a yahoo answers forum. \n\nBasically the problems boil down to investment in hardware, software and resources trained in implementing such as system. \n\nThe solutions at a very high level are start slowly, plan carefully obtain funding and get buy in from a project sponser down to the end users for the new system

I would say use a courier, DHL offer a worldwide service and a tracking service. \n\nWith customs and import taxes, it will depend on each individual country and how many are being shipped. You will need to familiarise yourself with various countries rules. In the UK the website would be www.hmrc.gov.uk. The link below is for a PDF file with information about import valuations. http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/downloadFile?contentID=HMCE_CL_000230\n\nYou may also wish to consider that most countries have different keyboard layouts and that laptops with "foreign" layouts are not popular in most countries. \n\nAre they high spec laptops?? Are they cheap?? As a retailer of computers in the UK, I can purchase laptops from numerous sources, but the profit margins are quite small. The cheapest laptops here (celeron/256/14"VGA)  are £399 (US $725). While there are some that sell for £1500, the majority sell between £500-£700. \n\nFinally, if you would like to contact me, please do. And if you want to send me a free laptop (to test the customs rules), it would be gratefully received ;)

Best bet would be to compile it yourself.  In US, you can use yellowpages.com to get a listing and contact information for "import/export" companies

The best internet-based job you could do outside the US involves marketing products or services that are fulfilled by 3rd parties so that your only responsiblity is to create customers and help them place orders. There are several out there. I will list a few in no particular order for your research
