In the contrary; a frontier world won't have the infrastructure to produce a wide range of sophisticated goods. However, it should be selling raw materials cheaply, due to an abundance of untapped resources. Food might be expensive if there isn't much arable land, necessitating the import of synth paste or other preserved goods. If the atmosphere is human breathable without much modification, then Oxygen can be very cheaply distilled from the air. If water is present on the crust, that's good; otherwise that'll be very costly.
