'outgoing traffic' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'outgoing traffic' is the wordplay.
'outgoing' becomes 'export' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'traffic' becomes 'trade' (traffic can mean illegal trade).
'export'+'trade'='EXPORT TRADE'

Can you help me to learn more?
