We have a market that is very large overseas for wrestling shoes wrestling singlets and several different varieties of wrestling headgear.
At this point, it makes little sense to tap this market because pricing for importing wrestling gear to Europe pretty much remove the profitability of such a move. Are their resources available to help me ship goods into Europe and Australia cheaper? We provide *much* better pricing than our European counterparts, but the import taxes kill the ability to service this market.
Is it deliberate on behalf of the EU to make importing of competing products that difficult? Why do they charge an import tax on goods anyway?

Thanks for your reply. I found a good resource for the wrestling shoes. The Export Requirements for the European Union.
SectionI: Eligible/Ineligible Products

The US government actually has a lot of resources to help US companies export. I would probably start here: http://www.export.gov
You can also visit http://www.trade.gov (particularly if you have a complaint about fair trade).
You could also try looking to this forum - http://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/. A lot of the people there do a lot of business with the EU so they could probably give you suggestions for other resources.
Good luck! :)
