×Our company exports many product to Europe.
✓Our company exports many products to Europe.
The verb 'export' is often followed by a plural noun or an uncountable noun when referring to goods in general. Using the singular 'product' is incorrect when referring to multiple items.
×We need to export our goods in other countries.
✓We need to export our goods to other countries.
The correct preposition to use with 'export' when indicating the destination is 'to', not 'in'.
×The government wants to export more.
✓The government wants to increase exports. / The government wants to export more goods.
While grammatically possible, 'export more' is often too vague in formal or business contexts. It's better to specify what is being exported or use the noun 'exports' for clarity.
×China exports a lot of toys in the world.
✓China exports a lot of toys to the world. / China is a major exporter of toys in the world.
Similar to mistake #2, the destination after 'export' requires 'to'. The phrase 'in the world' describes a position or characteristic, not the target of the export action.
×They are exporting their business to overseas.
✓They are exporting their products/services to overseas markets. / They are expanding their business overseas.
'Export' typically refers to sending goods or services to another country. You cannot directly 'export a business'. The object should be the tangible product or service.
×This data was export from the system yesterday.
✓This data was exported from the system yesterday.
In the passive voice or perfect tenses, the past participle 'exported' must be used, not the base form 'export'.
