    It's easy. Just look for something you can buy cheaper than you can sell! A fair amount of wire comes across both the Mexican and Canadian borders as well as from the Caribbean so there are opportunities but realistically you'll be competing with long established businesses since the only exporters are scrapyards who already have multiple sales options. No one else has quantities worth exporting and usually you'll be competing with metal companies that buy more than wire making for quicker sales times for exporters. The most likely opportunities and best margins will be with lower grade wires below 50% recovery. Good luck. You'll need it
