So I'm thinking of opening an imp, export business. Are there any documents or licenses I should be aware of? What are the risks and how do I start? Anyone chime in?

I know that city college of san francisco has a class on import/export. The professor worked as a lawyer for big corporations of international business and trade for 30 some odd years. You can take the class or just email the professor in regards to questions about the legal process.

Do you know what you want to import and export? This would help!
