Explanation
ส่ง means “send,” and ออก adds the idea of moving outward, so the core image is sending something out. The most important meaning is “to export” in trade, often used with words like สินค้า “goods,” ข้าว “rice,” บริษัท “company,” and ประเทศ “country.” The noun form การส่งออก means “exporting/exportation,” and สินค้าส่งออก means “export goods.” In modern Thai, it is also common in software contexts for exporting files or data out of a system.
Usage
It is common in economic news, trade, business operations, logistics, and discussions of agricultural or industrial products. It is also used in apps and admin systems when exporting files or data into another format.
Caution
For simply sending an email or package, use ส่ง, not ส่งออก. The opposite is นำเข้า, “to import.”
