Export Tax  - I sell FOB shipping point (which mean I do not include in price Freight cost, Insurance for Freight, or any non-local TAXes or duties).

I ship out of country via a international freight company like DHL or UPS.  I typically prepaid and charge freight/insurance (cause you have to). They will deal with the desination country's duty and taxes - they have there own international custom brokers - and since it is FOB shipping point - they charge any duty and taxes to the reciver (the customer).

All you would have to deal with is any local taxes or national taxes (if and where applicable)
