I have not been able to find ways to either: (1) duplicating an existing content type when creating a new one which I can then modify; (2) exporting and importing all settings for the various types of informations created, e.g. content types, products, product variations, taxonomies etc. rather than laboriously recreating them when needed.
Have I missed something?
haga389,
First, for exporting / importing there's a great project called "Features" that lets you export all of your site's settings and content types in the form of an installable module.
http://drupal.org/project/features
Next, to allow you to duplicate "types" of products / content types ... you would need something pretty cool.
You can clone specific products using this tool: http://drupal.org/project/commerce_product_clone
Or you might be able to create a "feature" of the content/product type and then use http://drupal.org/project/drush_clone to create a copy of that content/product type using the command line.

Thank you, I am checking out all three of the above.
Any Luck ? i really need to clone product variations / content type... i just fear my fingers if i must type and configure all the product variations by hand ....
Another option for those wanting to duplicate content/products: In the following snippet I create a product and a product display using php:
