Scrap metal, paper and plastic. The US is one of the few places that has organized recycling programs. As a result, there are opportunities to buy scrap material to sell abroad. For example, newspapers tend to use 70% new pulp and 30% recycled - and the latter only comes from the US. Same with PVC bottles, metal...

i know for a fact that blue jeans sell well in Germany. My ex was in the army over there and i had some old jeans of his, mine and the kids' i had a yard sale and sold every pair of blue jeans i had. i think since they sold so well in Germany (thiers were very expensive) they would sell well elsewhere.

Anything American. I find that Dove soap is big with women overseas. Same with body scrubs, the "poof" balls for the scrubs. Blowpops for the kids. Blue jeans, Jovan Musk for men.
