1. I have a potential customer located overseas. How do I know if this company is legitimate or not ?

1. I have heard that certain products that I want to sell overseas may require permission from the US Government. How do I find out if what we produce needs a license and if so, what agency does this and how long does it take ?

1. Are there certain countries that I should not sell to ?

4.Is there an official way that I can get a determination if I need an export license or not ? I do not want to violate any export regulations .

1. Are there any “red flags” or indicators that a South Dakota business should be aware of a suspicious potential sale even if it is a domestic sale ?
