Explosive redtop to send overseas (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deport

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'send overseas' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'explosive redtop' is the wordplay.
'explosive' indicates an anagram.
'redtop' with letters rearranged gives 'DEPORT'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
