This transaction falls under the category of buying and selling something unseen, which is permissible if it is described in a way that removes ignorance (about its nature) and if the purchased item is taken possession of in a -compliant manner. As soon as the purchased item arrives at the port of delivery and the buyer receives the shipping documents, this is considered sharia-compliant possession, and he is permitted to sell the imported goods without seeing them.
