description This research aims to identify the severity of the export barriers faced by small and medium scales enterprises (SMEs) in Klang Valley. Ten export barrier were listed and the result shows the five main problems are “Adapt Products”,” Fluctuating Exchange Rate”, “Lack of Foreign Channels of Distribution”, “Risks Involved in Selling Abroad”, “Lack of Capital to Finance” and “High Cost of Selling Abroad” regardless of the type of industries.
