XのGredaと申します。(海外がら電話しています。)注文をお願いしたい商品がいくつかあります。AとBとCです。アメリカに送って頂くことはできますか。
X: your company name
A,B,C: the name of the products
On business, you don't necesarily have to speak in a super polite way. My sentence here is polite enouch but clear to understand. The part "I'm calling from overseas" doesn't seem necessary. Keep it simple.

@Greda Since it's an overseas call and the person at the other end of the line is elderly, I chose the words easy to listen/recognize with politeness as possible.
