I did for a while when we were selling through Etsy, but we sell small ticket items - $5-6 bars of soaps, with average orders of $25. The shipping costs of soaps to other continents was easily $12-20. We had a few sales, but ultimately not worth it for the customer and not worth it for our risk, so I only limit to the US. Even Canada & South America is expensive to ship, not to mention the customs & shipping delay.
In the future if business picks up, I might try and find a partner in different locales (Europe, South America, Asia) to distribute and ship for me. I'm pretty far away from that now though.
