shipping goods to US

10 years ago
Hi my first post, my husband and I are looking to relocate to a central american country. With our 8 year old.
We have a small business in the US doing personalised sublimation gifts (think coffee mugs with pictures of grandchildren or photo plaques ect) We are planning to expand this to ebay and etsy pre move.
Our concern is shipping back to the US, most packages are in the 5 to 10lb range. It could be 10 to 100 packages a day.
So questions are
1. Is it possible to ship out such things regularly (we are looking at Matagalpa, currently)
2. Costs?
3. Customs? No idea how this works
4. Shipping time back to various US shipping zones.
5. Any possibilities of selling such items, perhaps in local tourism areas? 'Vacation Nicaragua' keepsake type stuff?
6. Are we crazy?
7. If it won't work from Nica, other suggestions?

And thank you
