If you're exporting by non-root user then set permission like below

root@ideapad:/tmp# mysql -u root -p
MariaDB[(none)]> UPDATE mysql.user SET File_priv = 'Y' WHERE user='someuser' AND host='localhost';

Restart or Reload mysqld

akshay@ideapad:/tmp$ sudo su
root@ideapad:/tmp#  systemctl restart mariadb

Sample code snippet

akshay@ideapad:/tmp$ cat test.sh 
#!/usr/bin/env bash

user="someuser"
password="password"
database="test"

mysql -u"$user" -p"$password" "$database" <<EOF
SELECT * 
INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/csvs/offices.csv' 
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' 
ENCLOSED BY '"' 
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
FROM offices;
EOF

Execute

akshay@ideapad:/tmp$ mkdir -p /tmp/csvs
akshay@ideapad:/tmp$ chmod +x test.sh
akshay@ideapad:/tmp$ ./test.sh 
akshay@ideapad:/tmp$ cat /tmp/csvs/offices.csv
