Usage Note
Exportación is the economic/trade term for goods or services sent abroad; its accent on the final syllable is typical of Spanish -ción nouns. The plural exportaciones drops the accent mark because the stress shifts naturally: eks-pohr-tah-SYOH-nehs. The related verb is exportar.
Examples
"Las exportaciones de vino aumentaron este año."
