Hello people. I was wondering if there were any fellow ASF members who could help me with some information on how to get an importation license. Also an exportation license too. I did some searches on the net and there was only links to US sites. Also in case there are different licenses for different regions of Australia I'm in Melbourne.
Doing some research it seems as though you will first need to have your company registered and then obtain the import/export license from your local chamber of commerce. I believe as well there seems to be different chambers of commerce that are specific for the trade to certain countries.
It was more or less a generic question in case there were different licenses for certain assets. But anything available and feasible from England... Includes lambos
I was considering alcohol more so... When i get some time I'll do more research thanks for the input. Alcohol is a product that can be sold more via large contracts which then can be bought once there is some commitment. Cars would be a harder game as I was looking more at the used car section. You need to commit to the stock first.
and the QAIS Icon data Base, http://www.aqis.gov.au/icon32/asp/ex_querycontent.asp
"ICON is AQIS's import conditions database. It contains the Australian import conditions for more than 20,000 plant, animal, microbial, mineral and human products."
I have been importing into AUS / US / Europe for a while an have never needed a license, only need to make sure that what is been imported meets local standards.
