ExPORTED

Exported is the past participle of export and is used as an adjective to describe goods, services, or data that have been sent out of a country or organization for sale, processing, or distribution. In everyday language, something that has been exported is prepared for shipment to foreign markets.

In international trade, exported goods are those sent from one country to another. Export activity is recorded in balance of trade data and is subject to regulatory requirements such as export controls, licenses, sanctions, tariffs, and proper documentation (commercial invoice, certificate of origin, packing list). Export classifications determine duties, eligibility for programs, and compliance obligations.

In computing, exported refers to programmatic elements that are made available to other modules or programs. An exported symbol (function, variable, type) can be accessed from outside its defining module. Different languages have different rules: in Go, a name is exported if it begins with an uppercase letter; in JavaScript, names are exported using export statements or default exports.

In practice, exporters must comply with both domestic and foreign laws, including trade embargoes and sanctions. The term also appears in data contexts, where a dataset is said to be exported when it is converted to a portable format such as CSV or JSON for use in another system.
