I ship books and shoes to Africa each month... The 'risk' associated with doing so is not significantly different then any other country. I would put it at moderate based on what type of local partnerships you are working with. I wouldn't go shipping your product to someone you met off the internet or anything like that.

Higher/high risk and huge profit margins are the two sides. But I want to do lower risk.
