A lot of products are manufactured in the Philippines specifically for the European markets, but unless you have established networks and are into big volumes, then forget it. The margins are too small and there are too many people already engaged in the trade, particularly handicrafts, rattan etc.

Pallets of sea shells are exported to the US, but it bums me because I enjoy diving and it screws up the reefs.
