In 1969, while still in the prototype stage of development, formal approaches had been made to Switzerland, India, Japan, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, promoting the aircraft for sale.<ref name = 'flight 1969 604'>''Flight'' 16 October 1969, p. 604.</ref> Japan began negotiations towards [[licence-built|licensed production]] of the Jaguar,<ref name="Lake p139">Lake 1994, p.139.</ref> but these plans failed in part because of the high [[Royalties|royalty payments]] sought by SEPECAT.<ref name="Lake p139"/> A proposal for Turkey to construct Jaguars under licence also did not come to fruition.<ref name = 'segell 168'>Segell 1998, p. 168.</ref> Kuwait initially ordered 50 Jaguars and 16 [[Dassault Mirage 5|Mirage 5s]], but instead chose F1s.<ref name="Eden p.399">Eden 2004, p. 398.</ref> Pakistan approached SEPECAT after the US refused to sell its aircraft of choice, the [[LTV A-7 Corsair II]], due to an arms embargo; Pakistan eventually opted for Mirage 5s.<ref name="Eden p.399"/>

Jaguars were successfully sold to a number of overseas countries, India being the largest operator. The ''Jaguar International'' was an export version which was sold to [[Ecuador]], [[Nigeria]] and [[Oman]]. The [[Ecuadorian Air Force]], the only Latin American export customer, purchased 10 single- and 2 two-seat variants, officially designated ''Jaguars ES'' and ''EB'', respectively.<ref name="Eden p.399"/> The first of twelve aircraft arrived in January 1977.<ref name="Eden p.399"/> They were used mainly for ground attack roles and occasionally for air superiority duties during the [[Cenepa War]] with Peru in 1995, but the main part of the fleet was held in reserve in case of a wider conflict with the Peruvians.<ref>Cooper, Tom. {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20031011115124/http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_164.shtml "Peru vs. Ecuador; Alto-Cenepa War, 1995."]}} ''Air Combat Information Group,'' 1 September 2003.
