The aim of this study is to reveal the importance levels of the problems encountered by the exporting firms and analyze the exporting problems in terms of the number of the countries that the firms export and the firms’ exporting period. With the emergence of the concept of globalization, the barriers between international markets have been lifted, yet each market and region has its own economic, technological, social and legal etc. characteristics. These characteristics sometimes constitute problems for exporting firms and it is thought that export experience is important to overcome these problems. In this respect, the hypothesis of the study is that there is a meaningful relation between the exporting problems and the exporting experiences. The findings of the empirical study reveal that the most important problem for the exporting firms is the difficulty of competing in export markets. The other result is; firms with less export experiences face more exporting problems than those with much export experience and the firms with less export experience see these problems more important. In other words, export problems are not considered very important for the firms with more export experience.
