I'm looking to export a food product but not entirely sure where to start

I've managed to source probably one of the best food items in Italy, in which the supplier hasn't really exported seriously as he's more focused on the core business which is a restaurant. He's happy for me to attempt to exporting food item to the UK (where I'm based) but I'm not sure on what I'll have to consider before doing this, and what is involved to get it from A to B. My background is in technology so this stuff is fairly new to me. Do you guys have any ideas or where I should start looking? via /r/business https://ift.tt/2EaMupa
