Όσον αφορά στις διαδικασίες ανάρτησης προϊόντων στα ράφια των σουπερμάρκετς έχουμε τα επί
μέρους κόστη (promotional, advertising, logistics -container/intnl freight-, warehouse/storage, supermarket
trading terms). Σε αυτά προστίθενται και τα κόστη απόκτησης των εισαγωγικών αδειών και των συναφών
πιστοποιητικών (Import Permit and Certificates). Επιπρόσθετα, αναφέρθηκε στα τέσσερα βήματα της
διαπραγματευτικής διαδικασίας με τους ”category buyers” του δυοπώλιου των σουπερμάρκετς
(Coles/Woolworths), ώστε τα προϊόντα να μπορούν να μπορούν να γίνουν αποδεκτά (product
presentation/pricing/samples in excellent condition/stock requirements). Χωρίς αυτά τα βήματα οιαδήποτε
συνάντηση με αυτή την κατηγορία των στελεχών είναι αναποτελεσματική. Στη συνέχεια αναφορά έγινε στις
σχετικές γραφειοκρατικές διαδικασίες εισόδου (universal buying form/universal item submission form) και στις
απαιτήσεις περί του κύκλου ζωής των προϊόντων (MLOR-SSDC/Minimum Life on Receival of Stock sent to

(Suppliers’Portals) που καταγράφουν τη σχέση πελάτου-σουπερμάρκετ, παρακολουθώντας έτσι επακριβώς
όλα τα σημεία εφοδιασμού. Μη εξαιρέσιμος είναι και ο υπερβολικά λεπτομερής διενεργούμενος έλεγχος από
εξειδικευμένα στελέχη του λιανεμπορικού οργανισμού στα σημεία αποθήκευσης των προϊόντων (waregouse

είτε με IGAs/Independent Grocery Agencies είτε με μεμονωμένα μινι-μάρκετς και ντελικατέσσεν (αν και τα
τελευταία συνασπίζονται ώστε να ελέγχουν αποτελεσματικότερα το δίκτυο προμηθευτών τους). Η θέση του
παλαιόθεν επιτυχούς σημείου πώλησης και μικρο-συναντήσεων «μπακάλικου/ παντοπωλείου» (στοιχείο
ανάδειξης των καιρών) ολοένα φθίνει.
Σημαντικό βήμα και εξαιρετικά σημαντικό αποτελεί η υποβολή ολοκληρωμένου σχεδίου προώθησης

BUSINESS MIGRATION AT THE STATE OF NEW SOUTH WALES
http://www.trade.nsw.gov.au/live-and-work-in-nsw/visas-and-immigration/business-migration
Business migration to NSW
Important Notice: Commonwealth temporary suspension of Significant Investor visa (SIV) nominations
Please read Significant Investor visa for more information.
Business Migration
New South Wales has a dynamic business environment that is truly world class. With our growing economy, the
opportunities here are abundant making NSW the top destination in which to launch your future.
New South Wales has a diverse economy and a stable and low-risk business environment that is supported by world's bestpractice financial and legal systems. Major investments in infrastructure such as roads and public transport are further
boosting growth and improving services that support business in our state. There is no better time to make the move and
take advantage of the abundant opportunities available in New South Wales. The New South Wales (NSW) Government
welcomes business migrants who plan to set up a business or invest in NSW. Generally, business migrants enter NSW
initially on a Provisional (Temporary Residence) visa for two to four years and then apply for a permanent visa.
NSW Trade & Investment nominates suitable applicants to apply for a Business visa under the Department of Immigration
and Border Protection's (DIBP) Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP). NSW may nominate you for a Business
Innovation and Investment (subclass 188/888) visa or Business Talent (subclass 132) visa if you meet the NSW criteria.
Once successful in obtaining state nomination, you must then apply to the Commonwealth Department of Immigration and
Border Protection (DIBP) for your visa. All applicants need to meet DIBP criteria for the visa for which they apply. You
should be aware that simply being nominated does not guarantee that the Department of Immigration and Border
Protection will grant a visa.
Business Innovation and Investment Visa
The Business Innovation and Investment visa program is generally a two stage process for most applicants. Applicants
require nomination from a State/Territory Government agency to apply for a visa. The visa classes are:
o
Business Innovation & Investment (Provisional) (subclass 188) visa
o
Business Innovation & Investment (Permanent) (subclass 888) visa
The Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) (subclass 188) visa has three streams:
o The Business Innovation stream is for people who wish to own and manage a new or existing business in Australia.
o The Investor stream is for people who wish to make a designated investment in an Australian state or territory and
want to maintain business and investment activity in Australia after the original investment has matured.
o The Significant Investor stream is for eligible applicants who are willing to invest at least AUD5 million into
complying investments in Australia.
The Business Innovation and Investment (subclass 188) provisional visa allows you to travel in and out of Australia for the
life of your visa.
The Business Innovation and Investment (Permanent) visa (subclass 888) is a permanent visa that you can apply for after
you have fulfilled the requirements of your provisional visa. To be eligible for a New South Wales nomination you must
meet the Department of Immigration and Border Protection criteria and NSW nomination criteria.

Significant Investor Visa
NSW welcomes applications for NSW nomination for the Significant Investor visa (SIV) from eligible investors who seek the
many business and investment opportunities in NSW. As part of the ongoing work to promote NSW as an attractive
destination to eligible investors, NSW has further streamlined NSW SIV nomination requirements. Effective 1 September
2014, NSW nominees for a Significant Investor visa are no longer required to invest at least $A1.5 million in NSW Waratah
Bonds. Applicants will be eligible for NSW nomination for this visa if they agree to invest at least $A5 million in complying
investments in Australia. The new policy offers investment flexibility to NSW nominees and demonstrates the NSW
Government's ongoing Open for Business commitment. Whilst no longer a requirement for NSW nomination, applicants
may still wish to invest in Waratah Bonds as a safe, fee-free, low risk investment option. Waratah Bonds are Complying
Investments for the Significant Investor Visa. For more information and to apply please read the NSW Waratah Bond
program: Complying Investments for Visa applicants.
Applications for NSW nomination under the Significant Investor visa are prioritised and assessed within 5 working days.
The Australian Government is reviewing the requirements for Complying Investments. Details are at
http://www.austrade.gov.au/invest/significant-investor-visa-and-premium-investor-visa-programmes. View the NSW
Government feedback to the suggested changes (PDF).
Business Talent (Permanent) (subclass 132) visa
This permanent visa has two streams:

The Significant Business History stream is for owners or part owners of a business who want to have a major
management role in a new or existing business in Australia.

The Venture Capital Entrepreneur stream is for people who have obtained at least AUD1 million in funding from
an Australian venture capital firm.
To apply for this visa, you must be nominated by a State/Territory Government. NSW nominates eligible applicants who
meet both Department of Immigration and Border Protection and NSW nomination criteria for this visa.

ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΙΚΟ ΚΑΘΕΣΤΩΣ ΠΡΟΪΟΝΤΩΝ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑ
Ι. ΔΙΑΔΙΚΑΣΙΕΣ
Όλα τα αγαθά που εισάγονται στην Αυστραλία πρέπει να εκτελωνίζονται από τις αρμόδιες Τελωνειακές
Υπηρεσίες της Αυστραλίας. Εισαγωγές μικρής αξίας, συνήθως, αποδεσμεύονται από τις Τελωνειακές αρχές,
προκειμένου να αποσταλούν στον αποδέκτη (Consignee). Για εισαγωγές αγαθών αξίας άνω των 250
δολλαρίων Αυστραλίας, όταν αυτές γίνονται από αέρα ή θάλασσα και άνω των 1000 δολ. όταν γίνονται
ταχυδρομικώς, υπεύθυνος για τον σωστό εκτελωνισμό των προϊόντων είναι ο εισαγωγέας. Εμπορεύματα,
μικρότερης ή ίσης με τα ανωτέρω ποσά αξίας, μπορούν να εκτελωνισθούν με την έγκριση σχετικής φόρμας
(Informal Clearance Document) που διατίθεται από τα Τελωνεία. Υπάρχουν τέλη εκτελωνισμού που αφορούν
στις διαδικασίες καταχώρησης και εγγραφής των προϊόντων κατά τον εκτελωνισμό τους. Τα τέλη αυτά
διαφέρουν ανάλογα με το αν πρόκειται για ηλεκτρονική ή παραδοσιακή (χειρόγραφη) εγγραφή.
Στα βασικά έγγραφα εκτελωνισμού περιλαμβάνονται:



Customs Entry ή Informal Clearance Document
Air Waybill ή Bill of Lading (Φορτωτική)
Τιμολόγια και άλλα έγγραφα σχετικά με την εισαγωγή
Για ορισμένα αγαθά ανάλογα με τη φύση τους και ανεξάρτητα από την ποσότητα απαιτείται επίσης άδεια
εισαγωγής πχ φαρμακευτικά προϊόντα, χημικά, οινοπνευματοειδή, όπλα, κλπ. Περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες
http://www.customs.gov.au
Η Αυστραλία, ως νησιωτική χώρα, δίνει ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στη διατήρηση της ισορροπίας του φυσικού
περιβάλλοντος της. Για το λόγο αυτό, όλα τα προϊόντα του φυτικής και ζωικής προέλευσης υπόκεινται στο
ιδιαίτερα αυστηρό έλεγχο της Αυστραλιανής Υπηρεσίας Φυτοϋγειονομικών ελέγχων (καραντίνα). Για
ορισμένα προϊόντα απαγορεύεται πλήρως η εισαγωγή τους στην Αυστραλία ενώ για άλλα επιτρέπεται υπό
αυστηρές προϋποθέσεις προηγούμενης επεξεργασίας μέσω της οποίας εκμηδενίζονται οι όποιες πιθανότητες
παρείσφρησης «βλαβερών» οργανισμών στο περιβάλλον της Αυστραλίας. Για το λόγο αυτό, ο εισαγωγέας θα
πρέπει πριν εξάγει το προϊόν του στην Αυστραλία να ενημερώνεται είτε επικοινωνώντας άμεσα με την
υπηρεσία του Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service AQIS είτε μέσω της ειδικής ενημερωτικής
ιστοσελίδας ICON http://www.aqis.gov.au/icon32/asp/ex_querycontent.asp. Σημειωτέο τέλος, ότι κάθε επιμέρους
Πολιτεία δύναται να επιβάλλει αυστηρότερες υγειονομικές προϋποθέσεις για την διακίνηση συγκεκριμένων
αγαθών στην επικράτειά της. Ενδέχεται συνεπώς, αν και είναι σχετικά σπάνιο, στις περιπτώσεις αυτές να
απαιτείται ειδική έγκριση από την αρμόδια υπηρεσία της συγκεκριμένης Πολιτείας.
Θα πρέπει να σημειωθεί ωστόσο η έμμεση προστασία που συνεπάγεται η εφαρμογή του ως άνω συστήματος,
γεγονός για το οποίο η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση έχει προσφύγει ήδη στον Π.Ο.Ε. επιτυγχάνοντας όμως μόνο μερική
εκλογίκευση και διαφάνεια του συστήματος όχι όμως και την κατάργησή του. Κατόπιν τούτου οι προσπάθειες
υπέρβασης από ξένους εξαγωγείς των περιορισμών φυτουγειονομικής φύσεως που θέτει η Αυστραλία
παραμένουν σε μεγάλο βαθμό ad hoc. Εξαιρετικής σημασίας είναι συνεπώς η προσπάθεια που καταβάλλεται
εντός Ε.Ε. για την αμοιβαία ενημέρωση και συντονισμό μεταξύ των εξαγωγέων με τη λειτουργία της
ηλεκτρονικής βάσης δεδομένων http://mkaccdb.eu.int, όπου καταγράφονται τα εμπόδια που συναντούν οι
τελευταίοι προκειμένου να εξάγουν τα προϊόντα τους στην Αυστραλία.
Τέλος θα πρέπει να ληφθούν υπόψη και οι προϋποθέσεις που θέτει η Αυστραλία αναφορικά με την
συσκευασία και την ετικέτα στα τρόφιμα η αρμόδια υπηρεσία Foodstandards Australia and New Zealand
FSANZ (http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/thecode/assistanceforindustry/userguides/index.cfm) και στα λοιπά αγαθά η
υπηρεσία Standards Australia (http://www.standards.org.au/). Επίσης σημαντικές είναι και σχετικές προβλέψεις του
νόμου περί αθέμιτου ανταγωνισμού Fair Trading Act τον οποίο διαχειρίζεται η αυστραλιανή Επιτροπή
Ανταγωνισμού (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ACCC). Ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον έχει το
παράδειγμα των βιολογικών προϊόντων. Οι σχετικές αυστραλιανές προδιαγραφές πιστοποίησης των εν λόγω
προϊόντων υποχρεώνουν μόνο τους εγχώριους παραγωγούς και εξαγωγείς και όχι τους ξένους εισαγωγείς
ΓΡΑΦΕΙΟ ΟΕΥ ΣΥΔΝΕΫ / ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΟΣ ΟΔΗΓΟΣ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗΣ ΑΓΟΡΑΣ
σελ. 7
στην Αυστραλία. Οι τελευταίοι δύναται συνεπώς να εισάγουν τα χαρακτηριζόμενα από τη χώρα προέλευσής
τους προϊόντα ως βιολογικά, υποκείμενα μόνο σε εκ των υστέρων ανάκληση στη περίπτωση που
ανταγωνιστές κινηθούν δικαστικά κατ’ εφαρμογή των διατάξεων περί αθέμιτου ανταγωνισμού (πχ σε
περίπτωση καταφανώς αδικαιολόγητου και ψευδούς χαρακτηρισμού ενός προϊόντος ως βιολογικού).
ΙΙ. ΔΑΣΜΟΙ & ΦΟΡΟΙ
Οι δασμοί του οποίους επιβάλλει η Αυστραλία υπολογίζονται στη FOB τιμή του προϊόντος και ανέρχονται σε
γενικές γραμμές σε 5%. Έναντι των εισαγομένων προϊόντων ορισμένων αναπτυσσόμενων χωρών ή χωρών με
τις οποίες η Αυστραλία έχει συνάψει Συμφωνίες Ελευθέρου Εμπορίου οι δασμοί δύναται να είναι
χαμηλότεροι. Τα μοναδικά προϊόντα στα οποία επιβάλλονται υψηλότεροι δασμοί είναι τα κλωστοϋφαντουργικά συμπεριλαμβανομένων και των υποδημάτων (TCF) 7%-15%.
Επίσης θα πρέπει να σημειωθούν και ορισμένοι δασμοί επί εισαγώμενων ποσοστώσεων που επιβάλλει η
Αυστραλία πχ στα γαλακτοκομικά όπου σε ποσότητες μέχρι 11.500 τόννους επιβάλλεται τέλος 96 Α$ ανά
τόννο και για επιπλέον ποσότητες το τέλος ανέρχεται σε 1.220 Α$/τόννο.
Στο τελικό κόστος του εισαγόμενου προϊόντος θα πρέπει να συνυπολογισθεί και ο φόρος προστιθέμενης αξίας
GST (Goods and Services Tax), της τάξεως του 10%, που επιβάλλεται κατά κανόνα επί της πώλησης αγαθών και
υπηρεσιών (αναλυτικές πληροφορίες για τις κατηγορίες προϊόντων οι οποίες υπόκεινται σε GST περιέχονται
στην σχετική ιστοσελίδα της Εφορίας http://www.ato.gov.au). Επίσης αξιοσημείωτοι είναι οι ειδικότεροι
φόροι τους οποίους η Αυστραλία επιβάλλει στη χονδρική πώληση του κρασιού (Wine Equalisation Tax WET
29%) Σημειώνεται ότι ο εν λόγω φόρος επιστρέφεται στους εγχώριους παραγωγούς οίνου, γεγονός που και
αυτό συνιστά άνιση μεταχείριση έναντι των εισαγωμένων προϊόντων της κατηγορίας και στη λιανική πώληση
των αυτοκινήτων από κάποια συγκεκριμένη τιμή και πάνω (Luxury Tax).
ΦΟΡΟΛΟΓΙΑ
Κάθε επίπεδο διοίκησης στην Αυστραλία (ομοσπονδιακό, πολιτειακό,τοπικό) επιβάλλει τους δικούς του
φόρους. Η σημαντικότερη φορολογική αρχή είναι η ομοσπονδιακή Κυβέρνηση. Ο φόρος επί των Αγαθών και
Υπηρεσιών (GST) επιβάλλεται στα περισσότερα αγαθά και υπηρεσίες (10%) και ένα μέρος του επιστρέφει στις
Πολιτειακές Κυβερνήσεις. άλλοι σημαντικοί φόροι είναι ο φόρος επί του οίνου και ο φόρος πολυτελών
αυτοκινήτων. Το φορολογικό σύστημα της χώρας είναι πολύπλοκο και αλλαγές της φορολογικής νομοθεσίας
είναι πολύ συχνές σε ομοσπονδιακό και πολιτειακό επίπεδο.
Στις παρακάτω ιστοσελίδες μπορούν να αναζητηθούν πληροφορίες σχετικά με την φορολογία:

ΙΙΙ. ΔΙΑΥΛΟΙ ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗΣ
Γενικά οι δίαυλοι εισαγωγών στην Αυστραλία προσομοιάζουν με τους αντίστοιχους των υπολοίπων

–

–
εισαγωγείς - χονδρέμπορους, οι οποίοι εισάγουν ορισμένες κατηγορίες προϊόντων και τα
μεταπωλούν χονδρικώς σε λιανοπωλητές,
αντιπροσώπους επί προμηθεία στο εξωτερικό,
μεταποιητές ή τελικοί χρήστες, οι οποίοι εισάγουν την πρώτη ύλη απευθείας από το εξωτερικό.


3-6% επί της τιμής FOB του προϊόντος για τους αντιπροσώπους επί προμηθεία

40-80% αναλόγως του προϊόντος, επί της τιμής του, μετά την πληρωμή των δασμών για τους
εισαγωγείς/χονδρεμπόρους μεγάλου όγκου καταναλωτικών αγαθών,

35-40% επί της τιμής πωλήσεως για τα πολυκαταστήματα που πωλούν με έκπτωση (discount

ΓΕΝΙΚΟ ΠΛΑΙΣΙΟ ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗΣ ΑΓΡΟΤΙΚΩΝ ΠΡΟΪΟΝΤΩΝ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑ
Λόγω του ιδιαίτερα αυστηρού καθεστώτος εισαγωγών
στην Αυστραλία, οι εξαγωγείς δέον να
συμβουλεύονται τον Αυστραλό εισαγωγέα σχετικά με τις διαδικαστικές λεπτομέρειες ολοκλήρωσης της
εισαγωγικής διαδικασίας.
Γενικές Πληροφορίες για το Καθεστώς Εισαγωγής στην Ασυτραλία: http://www.daff.gov.au/aqis/import
Σύμφωνα με την Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS), για να εξασφαλισθεί η επιτυχής
εισαγωγή αγροτικών προϊόντων στην Αυστραλία και να αποφεύγονται τυχόν καθυστερήσεις με την αποστολή
προϊόντων, υπάρχουν δύο προϋποθέσεις που πρέπει να πληρούν τα εισαγόμενα τρόφιμα: α) της καραντίνας
(Quarantine) και β) της ασφάλειας των τροφίμων (Food Safety).
1.
Για τις απαιτήσεις καραντίνας:
Όλα τα τρόφιμα που εισάγονται στην Αυστραλία πρέπει να συμμορφώνονται με τον νόμο Quarantine Act 1908 (
http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2007C00617 ).
Η ICON (Import Conditions) (http://www.aqis.gov.au/icon32/asp/ex_querycontent.asp) περιέχει τους όρους
εισαγωγής προϊόντων και μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για να καθοριστεί εάν ένα προϊόν που προορίζεται για εισαγωγή
στην Αυστραλία απαιτεί άδεια καραντίνας ή θεραπεία, ή εάν υπάρχουν άλλες προϋποποθέσεις.

Τα τρόφιμα πρέπει να είναι σύμφωνα με τις απαιτήσεις καραντίνας. Αν δεν πληρούν τις απαιτήσεις καραντίνας, δεν
επιτρέπεται η είσοδος τους στην Αυστραλία.
2.
Για τις απαιτήσεις ασφάλειας των τροφίμων:
Μόλις οι απαιτήσεις καραντίνας έχουν αντιμετωπιστεί, τα τρόφιμα πρέπει επίσης να συμμορφώνονται με το νόμο
Imported Food Control Act 1992:
http://www.daff.gov.au/aqis/quarantine/legislation/imported-food
Τα ισχύοντα πρότυπα για τα τρόφιμα στο πλαίσιο του Νόμου καθορίζονται στον Australia New Zealand Food
Standards Code:

ενδιαφερόμενοι θα πρέπει να συμβουλεύονται τον Αυστραλό εισαγωγέα, ο οποίος είναι υπεύθυνος για
την εισαγωγή των προϊόντων, για ενημέρωση σχετικά με όλα τα έγγραφα που απαιτούνται καθώς επίσης
και για τον χρόνο περάτωσης της διαδικασίας ο οποίος μπορεί να είναι μακρύς.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
http://www.agriculture.gov.au/import/food/info-for-food-importers
Information for food importers
To ensure successful importation and to avoid any delays with your shipment, there are two requirements that imported
food must meet.
Quarantine requirements
Food safety requirements
Information released under the FOI Act
Quarantine requirements
All food imported into Australia must comply with Australia’s biosecurity laws in the Quarantine Act 1908.
The Department of Agriculture's import conditions database can be used to determine if a commodity intended for
import to Australia requires a quarantine permit and/or treatment, or if there are any other quarantine conditions.
For further enquiries on Australian biosecurity or import permit requirements, or if you are experiencing trouble locating
information on the import conditions database, contact us:
•
Foods of animal origin, contact Biological Imports Program or phone +61 2 6272 4578, or visit Biological
Products.
•
Foods of plant origin, contact Plant Import Operations or phone +61 2 6272 3917, or visit Plants.
You must be sure that food complies with biosecurity requirements. If food does not meet biosecurity requirements, it
will not be allowed entry into Australia.
Food safety requirements
Once all quarantine requirements have been addressed, food must also comply with Australia’s imported food laws in
ΓΡΑΦΕΙΟ ΟΕΥ ΣΥΔΝΕΫ / ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΟΣ ΟΔΗΓΟΣ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗΣ ΑΓΟΡΑΣ
σελ. 10
the Imported Food Control Act 1992.
The applicable standards for food under the Imported Food Control Act 1992 are set down in the Australia New Zealand
Food Standards Code (the Code). All imported food must meet the requirements of the Australia New Zealand Food
Standards Code in its entirety, ensuring imported food complies with Australia’s requirements is the responsibility of the
importer.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand publishes User Guides that assist importers to understand the requirements of
the Code. Labelling is where most imported food fails to meet requirements.
For detailed information on the labelling and compositional requirements for food it is suggested that importers seek the
advice of a consultant food technologist, obtain legal advice or contact a relevant industry association to ensure that
their product complies with the Code. The department does not review labels or provide advice on labelling or
compositional requirements.
The department monitors compliance with the Code with the Imported Food Inspection Scheme (IFIS). Testing that may
be applied under the IFIS is published in Tests applied to risk food and Tests applied to surveillance foods.
There may also be Bovine Spo ngiform Encephalopathy (BSE) requirements for any beef product that is imported. Please
refer to the BSE food safety requirements webpage for more information.
Information released under the FOI Act
The department has received a Freedom of Information Act 1982 request (FOI 2013/14-56) for copies of the current
policy in relation to the importation of meat and personal consignments.
In response, 27 documents were released to the applicant on 2 June 2014:

General imports
There is no requirement for importers (companies or individuals) to hold an import licence to import goods into
Australia.
However, depending on the nature of the goods and regardless of value, importers may need to obtain permits
to clear certain imported goods from Customs control. Importers are required, amongst other things, to ensure
that imported goods are correctly labelled. For example, imported goods that require a trade description must
be marked with the name of the country in which the goods were made or produced, and where specified, a
true description of the goods. Further information about trade description goods and ownership of trade marks
and copyright can be found under the headings Commerce Trade Descriptions and Intellectual Property Rights
on this page. Other information for goods that are prohibited or restricted on importation can be found at
Prohibited and restricted goods. Some permit issuing authorities also publish brochures/pamphlets about their
areas of concern, but these publications may not always reflect current Customs legislation and procedures.

Import entry costs
A listing of all current fees and charges for declarations and licenses that we collect is summarised in Australian
Customs and Border Protection Notice No. 2014/41.
Further information on the cost of processing entries is available from the Customs Information and Support
Centre.
Valuation
While there are several methods of valuing goods for Customs purposes, the method most applied (transaction
value) is based on the price actually paid (or payable) for the imported goods subject to certain adjustments. A
major condition for using the transaction value is that there is no relationship between the buyer and seller
which may influence the price. Valuation of imported goods can be complex and importers are urged to seek
advice from a customs broker or to contact a Customs Information Centre.
Customs valuation of imported goods (40KB)
Valuation treatment of free of charge goods (33KB)
Valuation treatment of production assist costs (33KB)
Information on Valuation Advice
Advance rulings are formal advices on how Customs and Border Protection will apply certain laws to goods for
importation. A Valuation Advice provides rulings on specific matters relating to the assessment of the Customs
value of imported goods. Valuation Advice enquiries can be sent to valvic@customs.gov.au.
The following links to relevant documents and forms about Valuation Rulings and how to apply:
• Advance Rulings Factsheet– Overview on Tariff, Valuation and Origin advices and their application
processes
• Practice Statement 2009/21 – Applying for a Valuation Advice Relating to Transfer Pricing
• Practice Statement 2009/01 – Valuation
Instructions & Guidelines – Exchange Rates
Instructions & Guidelines – Valuation
Instructions & Guidelines – Valuation Advices
• Form B174 – Application for a Valuation Advice – for applicants without access to ICS TAPIN
Transfer pricing
During November 2006 Customs sought comments on a pricing discussion paper that set out policy, legislative
and system issues. Submissions from clients and other government agencies have been considered in finalising
the Business Practice Statement on Transfer Pricing.
Rules of origin
Rules of origin are the rules applied to determine from which country a good originates for international trade
purposes. Rules of origin are necessary for preferential reasons i.e. determining eligibility for benefits such as
reduced rates of duty. For detailed information, including information booklets, refer to the separate section of
this guide dedicated to Rules of Origin.
Information on Origin Advice
An Origin Advice provides rulings on whether particular imported goods qualify as originating from a particular
country. Origin Advice enquiries can be sent to Origin@customs.gov.au.
The following links to relevant forms and documents about Origin Rulings and how to apply:
• Practice Statement 2009/13 – Rules of Origin sets out Customs policy in relation to preferentail rules
of origin for Australia's Free Trade Agreements.
The associated Instructions and Guidelines are also available.
• Form B659 – Application for Origin Advice Ruling
• Advance Rulings Factsheet– Overview on Tariff, Valuation and Origin advices and their application

σελ. 13
Support Centre on 1300 363 263 or by email to information@customs.gov.au.
The Australian Business Number
If you have an Australian Business Number (ABN) you will need to supply it to us when formally entering goods.
You need to be registered for GST purposes and have an ABN in order to claim input tax credits or access the
GST deferral scheme. For advice on any GST matters, including registration, deferral and claiming of input
credits, contact your local taxation office.
Concessions
On importation, if you or your goods meet eligibility requirements, you may make use of concessional
treatment for imported goods under Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 (the Tariff).
Schedule 4 of the Tariff lists 55 items covering various categories of goods and the respective concessional
rates of duty payable. Schedule 4 supports a range of industry assistance objectives, as well as tariff
concessions arising from international treaties including Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).
Read more information about FTAs at Free trade agreements - Rules of Origin
Concessional treatment for imported goods may also be obtained if you are granted a Tariff Concession Order
(TCO). A TCO can be obtained under the Tariff Concession System (TCS). Further information about the TCS can
be found in the fact sheet Tariff Concession System.
Commerce Trade Descriptions
Importers are required to ensure that goods entering the commerce of Australia are correctly labelled. It is an
offence to import goods that do not bear a required trade description, or bear a false trade description.
Imported goods that require a trade description must be marked with the name of the country in which the
goods were made or produced, and where specified, a true description of the goods. When a trade description
is required, it must be:
• in the English language; and
• in prominent and legible characters and;
• on a principal label or brand affixed in a prominent position and in as permanent a manner as
practicable and;
• if labelling on the goods includes a weight or quantity, it must also say if that weight or quantity is net
or gross.
Any other information included must not contradict or obscure the required trade description. This includes
illustrations, wording or size of lettering. A false trade description can be any description of goods that is
incorrect or misleading. This may include direct or indirect details of size, weight, quality, quantity, origin,
manufacturer, ingredients or the application of a patent, privilege or copyright, and includes all possible
alterations of a trade description, whether by way of addition, effacement, or otherwise. A trade description
may also be false if information is omitted from the description and this misleads the consumer as to the true
description of the goods. Goods imported in contravention of these regulations may be seized. Read more
details about Commerce Markings.
If you would like further information about Customs requirements on labelling, please email
iprights@customs.gov.au or phone Customs Information on 1300 363 263.
Intellectual Property Rights
Import provisions under the Trade Marks Act 1995, Copyright Act 1968 and Olympic Insignia Protection Act
1987 allow Customs, under certain circumstances, to seize goods that infringe trade marks, copyright and
protected Olympic insignia. If you are the owner of a trade mark, a copyright work or licensed user of Olympic
insignia, protecting your Intellectual Property (IP) through the border measures available will allow us to seize
goods that infringe your IP rights if they are detected at the time of importation. To protect IP rights from
counterfeit, pirated or unauthorised importation, the owner, or in some cases an authorised user, must have a
Notice of Objection in place with Customs.
Notice of Objection
A Notice of Objection is a legal document that allows us to seize imported goods that infringe trade marks,
copyright or Olympic insignia. A Notice of Objection under the Trade Marks Act or Copyright Act is valid for two
years, and four years under the Olympic Insignia Protection Act. These Notices can be re-lodged to ensure
ongoing protection. If the Notice is no longer required, the owner may withdraw it at any time. Separate
Notices are required for trade marks, copyright and Olympic insignia. A security in the form of a guarantee
from an approved financial institution (documentary security) or a cheque (cash security) must also accompany
the Notice. The security is required to reimburse the Commonwealth for costs associated with the seizure and
disposal of infringing goods. Any unused portion of the security is returned when the Notice is no longer in
place. A Notice of Objection only protects goods, not services, which are imported into Australia.
We're restricted to seizing infringing goods that are subject to the control of Customs and Border Protection
and are covered by a Notice of Objection. A Notice of Objection cannot act retrospectively for goods that have
already been imported.
Where a Notice of Objection is in place and Customs and Border Protection seizes importations that infringe IP,
ΓΡΑΦΕΙΟ ΟΕΥ ΣΥΔΝΕΫ / ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΟΣ ΟΔΗΓΟΣ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗΣ ΑΓΟΡΑΣ
σελ. 14
the seized goods are held for 10 working days. In this period:
• The objector will commence legal action, or
• The objector will consent to the release of the goods, or
• The importer will voluntarily forfeit the goods, provided civil action has not commenced.
If the right's owner does not commence legal proceedings within 10 working days of receiving the notification
of seizure, or within 20 working days if we've agreed to extend the period, Customs and Border Protection
must release the goods unless the importer has voluntarily forfeited them. This is subject to all other legislative
requirements being met.
At the conclusion of any legal action, the court will make an order about the goods, for example forfeiture of
infringing goods to the Commonwealth. Customs and Border Protection disposes of forfeited goods as directed
by the Chief Executive Officer, usually by destruction or donation to a charity, as appropriate.
We encourage trade mark, copyright and Olympic insignia rights owners and the public to provide information
that will assist us to identify and intercept suspected infringing goods.
Read more detail about Intellectual Property including forms and guides.
See our list of goods covered under current Notices of Objection.
If you would like further information about protecting Intellectual Property rights or to obtain copies of the
relevant forms, please email iprights@customs.gov.au or phone Customs Information on 1300 363 263.
Need help?
If you want to clear your own goods you should contact us for advice on Customs requirements and operating
hours. Please note that we do not complete customs import entries on your behalf. Customs import entry
procedures are based on self-assessment by importers who should be aware of all their obligations. Penalties
may be imposed for the submission of incorrect or misleading information or for the omission of information to
mislead. Details of the information requirements of the "Entry For Home Consumption" and guidance for its
completion are contained in the Documentary Import Declaration Comprehensive Guide.
We recommend that you use the services of a customs broker to complete customs import entries and related
clearance formalities. Brokers specialise in the clearance of imported goods and are licensed by Customs. They
may be contacted by reference to the yellow pages of local telephone directories under "Customs Brokers", or
by contacting the local branch of the Customs Brokers and Forwarders Council of Australia.

Goods with a false trade description must not be imported or exported.
Goods that are imported that do not meet the requirements may be seized and forfeited.
Which goods must be labelled?
The Commerce (Trade Descriptions) Act 1905 and the Commerce (Imports) Regulations 1940 (CI Regulations)
set out the labelling required for goods being imported into Australia. Certain goods must be correctly labelled
with a trade description before they can be imported. Not all goods require labelling. The CI Regulations set out
which goods or classes of goods require labelling when being imported, what labelling is required and where it
is to be applied. What do I need to know about trade description markings? Trade description markings must
be:
•
•
•
in English
in prominent and legible characters
on the main label or brand attached to the goods, in a prominent position and in a way that is as
permanent as practicable
It must include the name of the country where the goods were made or produced. A trade description must
also include a true description about the goods. “True description” is not defined in the legislation so is taken
to be anything that is true and accurate about the goods. Goods with a false trade description must not be
imported or exported. A false trade description is one that is likely to mislead about key characteristics of the
good. Examples include the weight, origin, manufacturer, preparation and contents.
If you import goods and do not meet the requirements of the Act and/or the CI Regulations, the goods may be
seized and forfeited.

Importing Goods Through Customs - Frequently asked questions
http://customs.gov.au/faq/ClearingCustoms.asp
What should I consider before importing something?
There are several pieces of legislation that control what can and what cannot be imported into Australia. This is
administered and controlled by several different Government departments and agencies. While certain goods
may require a permit to import them there are very few goods that are prohibited absolutely. Absolutely
ΓΡΑΦΕΙΟ ΟΕΥ ΣΥΔΝΕΫ / ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΟΣ ΟΔΗΓΟΣ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗΣ ΑΓΟΡΑΣ
σελ. 16
prohibited imports are goods that nobody can import into Australia under any circumstances. Most goods
however, can be brought into Australia without the need for a permit. Further information on prohibited
imports is available on the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service website. It is also advisable to
contact the Department of Agriculture to ask about their controls and permit requirements.
Importing goods with a value at or below A$1,000.
Goods, other than alcohol and tobacco products, valued at or below A$1,000 may be imported free of customs
duty and taxes. If your goods (not including tobacco and alcohol products) are brought into Australia through
Australia Post, no paperwork for Customs and Border Protection will be required, except for the parcel
declaration or if a permit is required. Australia Post will deliver the goods straight to you. If the goods are being
delivered via air freight or sea freight, there will be no payment of customs duty or tax for goods valued at or
below A$1,000 (not including alcohol or tobacco products). Goods (excluding tobacco and alcohol products)
below the entry threshold (A$1,000) that you import do not require an import declaration. These goods must
be reported to Customs and Border Protection on a Self-Assessed Clearance (SAC) declaration. SAC
declarations are usually made on your behalf by the freight forwarder handling your consignment but
sometimes you may be required to make a SAC declaration for yourself. SAC declarations can only be made
electronically to Customs and Border Protection by way of the Integrated Cargo System (ICS). If you own or
obtain a digital certificate you can communicate directly with the ICS and make your own SAC declarations at
no cost. You may also use the services of a licensed customs broker to make SAC declarations on your behalf or
have a SAC service provider make SAC declarations for you. While there are no Customs fees or charges for
making a SAC declaration service providers and brokers do charge for the service. Digital certificates (required
for secure and verified computer communications) can be purchased through companies like Verisign for a fee
and once you have one you will need to register in the ICS as a user. Please see Digital Certificates for further
information.
Importing goods with a value of more than A$1,000.
Your imported goods will be assessed for customs duty and Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10%. The rate of
duty depends on the nature of the goods. Your items may also be subject to Wine Equalisation Tax (WET) or
Luxury Car Tax (LCT) and other taxes or levies as determined by law.
The duty and GST that may be applied to your goods is assessed as follows:
Duty is determined by the Tariff classification of the goods (Customs Tariff Act 1995). The duty, if any, is
calculated on the customs value of the goods. The customs value is usually the price you paid converted to
Australian dollars, it is also known as the transaction value. Customs and Border Protection can require you to
produce receipts or invoices etc to substantiate the customs value you have claimed applies, so keep all your
documents for a minimum of 5 years as required by the Customs Act 1901.
GST (at a rate of 10%) is calculated on the Value of the Taxable Importation known as the VoTI.
The VoTi is the sum of:
•
•
•
the customs value
any duty payable; and
the amount paid or payable to transport the goods to Australia and to insure the goods for that
transport.
To obtain a Tariff Classification and an exact duty rate rate, refer to the Customs Tariff. Once you have reached
this page, you can scroll through the chapters to find the classification for your goods.
Alternatively, you can apply for a tariff advice by completing form B102 (Application for Tariff Advice), for each
"invoice" item. Information on how to complete a B102 is on the back of the form, so it is important to print
and view both sides. Where to lodge a Tariff Advice Application or make an enquiry regarding an existing

Other costs to consider before importing something
Other costs to consider before importing something into Australia are the costs of manufacturing the good/s,
agent fees, overseas transportation, transporting the goods to Australia, wharf or handling fees in Australia,
costs for reporting the shipment to Customs and Border Protection, customs broker fees, the department of
Agriculture examination and treatment fees, and Australian transportation costs etc. This is not a complete list
of all the fees and charges that you may be liable for, but it gives you an indication of what you need to
research before importing. You may find that you do not have to pay all of these fees depending on your
circumstances. The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service does not charge these fees, nor do we
determine what fees will be charged. As a result, we cannot give any advice on these fees and charges.

Do I need a licence to import something?
There is no requirement for companies or individuals to hold an import licence. However, depending on the
nature of the commodity, regardless of value, owners may need to obtain a permit to facilitate the clearance of
the goods. Some goods are not allowed to be imported under any circumstances, and others may only be
imported with written permission in the form of a permit. Permits must be obtained from the relevant
Australian government department prior to the goods being imported into Australia. Information on prohibited
goods is available on the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service website.
If you are importing goods such as food items, plant, wood, animals or animal products please contact the
Department of Agriculture.

What are the rules for importing goods?
As of 12 October 2005, new import rules took effect for low value consignments.
Goods, other than alcohol and tobacco products, valued up to A$1,000 are imported free of customs duty and
ΓΡΑΦΕΙΟ ΟΕΥ ΣΥΔΝΕΫ / ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΟΣ ΟΔΗΓΟΣ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗΣ ΑΓΟΡΑΣ

taxes. If these goods are imported through the postal system (i.e. Australia Post delivers the goods in Australia)
usually you will not be required to present any paperwork to Customs and Border Protection and Australia Post
will send the goods straight to you. If the goods are being delivered airfreight or sea freight, there will still be
no payment of customs duty and/or GST required for the goods valued up to A$1,000 (not including alcohol or
tobacco products), however electronic Customs and Border Protection clearance will be required via the
Customs Integrated Cargo System (ICS) and this may incur a processing fee from the carrier of your goods.
Goods over the value of A$1,000 will require an Import Declaration to be lodged electronically via the Customs
Integrated Cargo System (ICS). Duty and/or taxes will more than likely be payable. It is may be wise to engage
the services of a licensed customs broker to facilitate the Import Declaration and to assist you to ensure you
have met all obligations relating to the importation of your goods. You need to be aware that the Department
of Agriculture may require an inspection of your shipment and fees will apply. You can either telephone
them on 1800 020 504, or visit the Department of Agriculture website.
Importing/Exporting goods
What are the labelling requirements for imported goods?
Commerce Trade Descriptions
Importers are required to ensure that goods entering the commerce of Australia are correctly labelled. The
Commerce (Trade Descriptions) Act 1905 and the Commerce (Imports) Regulations 1940 set out the labelling
requirements for goods imported into Australia. Customs and Border Protection administers this legislation. It
is an offence to import goods that do not bear a required trade description, or bear a false trade description.
Imported goods that require a trade description must be marked with the name of the country in which the
goods were made or produced, and where specified, a true description of the goods. When a trade description
is required, it must be:
•
•
•
•
in the English language; and
in prominent and legible characters; and
on a principal label or brand affixed in a prominent position and in as permanent a manner as
practicable; and
if labelling on the goods includes a weight or quantity, it must also say if that weight or quantity is net
or gross.
Any other information included must not contradict or obscure the required trade description. This includes
illustrations, wording or size of lettering.
A false trade description can be any description of goods that is incorrect or misleading. This may include direct
or indirect details of size, weight, quality, quantity, origin, manufacturer, ingredients or the application of a
patent, privilege or copyright, and includes all possible alterations of a trade description, whether by way of
addition, effacement, or otherwise. A trade description may also be false if information is omitted from the
description and this misleads the consumer as to the true description of the goods. The Commerce (Trade
Descriptions) Act provides that goods imported in contravention of the Commerce (Imports) Regulations may
be seized by Customs and Border Protection. If you would like further information about importing goods into
Australia, or you are uncertain of any aspect of Customs requirements on labelling, please visit the Australian
Customs and Border Protection Service website at www.customs.gov.au, email information@customs.gov.au
or labelling@customs.gov.au or phone Customs Information on 1300 363 263.
What is an Import Declaration (Nature 10 entry)?
Imported goods with a value above A$1000 require an Import Declaration to be lodged with Customs and
Border Protection. Once this declaration has been lodged and accepted by Customs and Border Protection and
all duties and taxes paid goods are released into “home consumption”. Import Declarations are required by
law to be entered in the Integrated Cargo System (ICS). There are three options for importers to do this:

Complete an Import Declaration (Form B650) or Import Declaration - Post (Form B374) and present it to a
Customs and Border Protection counter. Note: The Import Declaration - Post (Form B374) can be emailed
to Customs and Border Protection.

Import Declarations
What documents do I require to clear goods imported to Australia? If you wish to clear the goods yourself, the
Australian Customs and Border Protection Service will provide assistance to first time importers in the
clearance of their goods. The minimum documentation required is an invoice, bill of lading/air waybill and any
other papers such as packing list, insurance documents, etc. relating to the shipment.
Imported goods entering Australia may need to meet a number of requirements for clearance prior to release.
Further information may be sourced at importing goods. This will detail the documents required to complete
Customs and Border Protection formalities when the imported goods arrive. The Documentary Import
Declaration Comprehensive Guide provides detailed information, advice and examples on how to complete an

6.1 Goods attracting excise and Customs duties
Excise duty is imposed by the Excise Tariff Act 1921 on the production of certain goods in Australia. Alcoholic
beverages (excluding wine), tobacco products and fuel (e.g. petrol, diesel and heating oil) are excisable goods.
Excise duty is administered by the ATO. An equivalent Customs duty is levied on similar imported goods.
Customs duty is imposed by the Customs Tariff Act 1995 on imported goods either at the time of importation
or, if the goods have been stored in a Customs-licensed bonded warehouse, at the time of their release from
bond. Customs duty is administered by the ACS.
6.2 Exemption of excise and Customs duties
Goods imported or purchased by diplomatic missions, consular posts and their eligible staff may be exempted
from excise and Customs duties, subject to certain conditions. Exemptions are not available to any staff
member who is a citizen or permanent resident of Australia. Where staff members have both Australian and
foreign nationality, Australian nationality prevails.
Except in the case of fuel, exemption privileges from excise duty are available at the time the goods are being
released from an Excise-licensed premise. Orders for the purchase of excisable goods free of duty may be
placed with suppliers holding an excise license. Limits apply to purchases by diplomatic missions, consular posts
and their eligible staff, and certain international organisations, of excise-free alcohol and tobacco products.
The current limits per six-month period for the official use of a mission or post are: 260 litres of spirits, liqueurs
or spirituous liquors; 1,000 litres of beer; and 20,000 cigarette sticks. Eligible privileged staff members have half
the official-use entitlements for their personal use. Refunds of excise duty on fuel can be claimed by diplomatic
missions or consular posts both on behalf of the mission or post and on behalf of eligible privileged staff.
Applications by individuals are not accepted. Diplomatic missions and consular posts resident in Australia and
their privileged staff may import or purchase goods duty-free provided they are intended for the official use of
a mission or post, or for the personal use of an privileged staff member or a dependent family member forming
part of the staff member's household in Australia. Exemption from Customs duty is available only at the time
the goods are being cleared on importation or released from bond. There is no mechanism to provide refunds
of Customs duty once it has been paid. Goods acquired under privilege may not be resold, lent, hired, given
away, exchanged, traded or otherwise disposed of to a non-privilege person in Australia within a set minimum
period. In making application for exemption from Customs duty on imported goods, diplomatic missions,
consular posts and their eligible staff are required to acknowledge and sign an undertaking that if any of the
goods are resold or otherwise disposed of in Australia to a non-privileged person within two years, or in the
case of motor vehicles three years, after the date of importation or purchase, the mission, post or privileged
person will be liable to pay to the Commonwealth an amount (less a depreciation for the period of ownership)
equal to any customs duty, taxes and related charges that, but for the relevant exemptions, would have been
payable in respect of those goods. Only in exceptional circumstances will permission be granted to allow goods
acquired under privilege to be disposed of to a non-privileged person in Australia before two years in the case
of general goods or three years in the case of motor vehicles. Goods imported or purchased under privilege by
a diplomatic mission or consular post must be necessary to meet the reasonable requirements of the mission
or post. Similarly, goods imported or purchased under privilege by diplomatic or consular officers, or by
administrative and technical staff or consular employees, or members of their immediate family who form part
of their household in Australia, must be necessary to meet their reasonable personal requirements and, in the
case of administrative and technical staff or consular employees, must be imported or purchased within six
months of the staff member's arrival in Australia ('first installation'). The Head of Mission or Post (or authorised
delegate) is required to confirm that the proposed importation or purchase does not relate to articles of the
same or similar kind to articles already imported or purchased under privilege and which have already met the
reasonable requirements of the mission, post or privileged staff member.
6.3 Customs clearance
Exemption from Customs duty, GST and LCT is granted under the provisions of the Diplomatic Privileges and
Immunities Act 1967 or the Consular Privileges and Immunities Act 1972. All applications for release of goods
(except motor vehicles) from Customs control to diplomatic missions, consular posts and privileged individuals
must be submitted to the ACT Regional Office of ACS at Customs House, 5 Constitution Avenue, Canberra ACT
2600. Applications for the purchase of motor vehicles under privilege should be submitted to Protocol Branch.
The ACT Regional Office of ACS allocates a Customs identification number to each mission, post, member of a
mission or post, and to administrative and technical staff and consular employees if they are claiming privilege
in respect of a motor vehicle. Administrative and technical staff and consular employees must quote their
ΓΡΑΦΕΙΟ ΟΕΥ ΣΥΔΝΕΫ / ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΟΣ ΟΔΗΓΟΣ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗΣ ΑΓΟΡΑΣ
σελ. 24
mission's (or post's) identification number when clearing goods other than motor vehicles covered by their first
installation entitlements. For goods cleared from bond (i.e. Customs licensed bonded warehouses, including
duty-free shops), Customs entry formalities are normally handled by either a licensed customs broker or the
bond proprietor.
6.4 GST and ITCS
GST of 10 per cent is imposed on most goods and services sold or consumed in Australia. Related indirect taxes
are the WET, which is applied to all wines, ciders, mead and sake, and the LCT, which applies to motor vehicles
whose value exceeds the LCT threshold.
A limited number of items do not attract GST. These include basic food items (but not restaurant meals, takeaway food or catering), education fees, child care costs, visits to medical practitioners, hospital costs,
international transport of passengers and goods to and from Australia, prescription medicines, council rates,
water and sewerage rates and residential (but not office) rents. This list is a guide only and its coverage is not
exhaustive. ITCS allows diplomatic missions and consular posts headed by career officers in Australia to claim
refunds of GST and related indirect taxes on goods and a limited number of services. ITCS is implemented on
the basis of reciprocity where a broadly comparable range of tax concessions is granted to Australian overseas
missions, posts and accredited staff. Certain international organisations in Australia may also be entitled to
indirect tax concessions.
6.4.1 Concessions available under ITCS
The range of goods and services for which missions, posts and accredited staff may seek refunds depends on
the nature of the package of indirect tax concessions negotiated with each country represented in Australia.
Different arrangements apply to international organisations.
Eligible missions, posts and international organisations may lodge applications for refund under ITCS for any
single tax invoice of at least $200 (including indirect tax) for the taxable supply of: goods (by purchase or lease);
diplomatic or consular mail services; telecommunications services; electricity and gas services; protection of
official premises services; removal of goods services; freight and cartage other than removal of goods; and
commercial rent of official premises. ITCS also covers alcohol and tobacco products purchased from Excise
licensed premises (including duty-free shops) and purchases of fuel. The single tax invoice minimum value of
$200 is not applied to claims for refunds of GST on goods that attract excise duty and for which an exemption
from the excise duty has been granted. This would cover alcohol (excluding wine), tobacco products and fuel.
However, where such goods are purchased without any exemption from excise duty (for example from a
normal retail outlet), the minimum invoice value of $200 for claims would apply. Acquisitions not covered by
ITCS include regular maintenance of property, insurance services, travel services, membership subscriptions,
hotel accommodation and restaurant services. Information about ITCS entitlements and ITCS refund claim
forms are available from ATO website http://www.ato.gov.au/itcs or by telephoning the ATO ITCS Claims
Processing Team in Brisbane on 1300 880 283. Full details of individual country entitlements and arrangements
may be found in the Diplomatic Privileges and Immunities (Indirect Tax Concession Scheme) Determination
2000 and the Consular Privileges and Immunities (Indirect Tax Concession Scheme) Determination 2000 and
related amendments. The texts of these Determinations may be obtained online at
http://www.comlaw.gov.au. Any requests for new or upgraded concessional packages under ITCS should be
directed to Protocol Branch.
6.4.2 Definition of official use
Official use is defined as having a direct relation to the exercise of the functions of the mission or post in
accordance with the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations. If electricity, gas and
telecommunications accounts are in the name of the mission or post, even though they may cover staff
residences, or if such accounts relate to staff residences but are paid directly to the service provider by the
mission, they would be acceptable for reimbursement under ITCS as it is considered this would reflect an
official cost. If, however, the account is in the staff member's own name and paid by the staff member it would
not qualify for a refund under ITCS.
6.4.3 Property leases
Residential leases do not attract GST.
Commercial leases do attract GST. Commercial leases would include rent of office accommodation. Diplomatic
missions and career consular posts are entitled to claim a refund of GST on such leases where it is included in
their package of indirect tax concessions. Crown leases for diplomatic land in the ACT - that is, long term leases
(as defined under GST legislation) for land specifically designated for diplomatic use that is leased through the
National Capital Authority - do not attract GST.
6.4.4 Arrangements for making claims
The following administrative arrangements apply:
 orders for duty-exempt excisable goods may be placed with licensed suppliers on official stationery of
the relevant diplomatic mission, consular post or international organisation (see Section 6.2);
 claims for refund of excise and GST on purchases of fuel should be submitted quarterly to the ITCS

Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and ACS), the original tax invoice and proof of payment (see
Section 7.5);
 all claims and applications must be made through the mission or post, not by an individual, and signed
by the Head of Mission or Head of Post or delegated official with the official mission or post stamp

purchaser; and
 ITCS refunds to a mission, post or organisation will only be paid to a single, nominated bank account.
6.4.5 GST concessions on construction or renovation projects
Under ITCS legislation, the Australian Government may negotiate bilateral arrangements for reciprocal tax
concessions on certain construction or renovation projects relating to mission premises. To be eligible, work
must relate to chancery premises or a Head of Mission residence and the total cost of the project must be at
least $10,000. Other residential accommodation and consular premises are not normally eligible for tax
concessions. Missions proposing to undertake construction or renovation projects that may qualify for tax
concessions on a reciprocal basis should direct enquiries to Protocol Branch before any work is undertaken.
6.5 Honorary consular officers
Limited exemption from excise or customs duties is available to consular posts headed by honorary consular
officers. There is no exemption from Customs duty or entitlement to claim refunds of GST and LCT on the
purchase of motor vehicles. Consular posts headed by an honorary consul are permitted limited purchases of
alcohol free of excise duty for use at National Day celebrations. They are also permitted limited purchases of
wine for use at National Day celebrations where claims for refunds of WET and GST are submitted as part of
the official claims by responsible diplomatic missions or consular posts headed by a career consular officer.
6.6 Income earned in Australia
The official salary and allowances paid to home-based diplomatic and consular personnel (including
administrative and technical staff, consular employees and service staff) posted to Australia are exempt from
all forms of taxation in Australia. Other income derived by diplomatic and consular personnel from sources
outside Australia is also exempt from Australian taxation. Diplomatic missions and consular posts are
ΓΡΑΦΕΙΟ ΟΕΥ ΣΥΔΝΕΫ / ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΟΣ ΟΔΗΓΟΣ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗΣ ΑΓΟΡΑΣ
σελ. 26
reminded, however, that locally engaged staff and any other staff who may be citizens or permanent residents
of Australia (in accordance with the migration regulations) will generally be liable to pay Australian tax on their
salaries and allowances. Interest arising in Australia, being interest from banks, building societies or credit
unions from all types of accounts, including transaction, savings and term deposit accounts, accruing to
missions and posts in the course of their official duties is exempt from taxation in Australia. This exemption also
applies to interest from government securities, bonds, debentures, and distributions from unit trusts, including
cash management trusts, to which missions and posts are beneficially entitled. Article 34(d) of the Vienna
Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and Article 49(d) of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations
of 1963 permit a receiving State to tax private income having its source in that State. Australia regards “private
income” as including all income derived from Australian sources, some examples being the proceeds of share
market dealings, dividends from public companies, dealings in real estate, and the interest that accrues to
personal accounts operated by individuals at financial institutions in Australia. Individuals who receive such
income are liable to pay Australian tax. This position is consistent with the abovementioned articles and is
adopted by a number of other countries. Diplomatic and consular personnel are generally considered to be in
the same position as Australian residents for taxation purposes and may apply to the Australian Taxation Office
for a Tax File Number. This has no bearing on their status under the Vienna Conventions or migration
regulations and in no way reduces, modifies or otherwise affects their privileges and immunities. It does,
however, mean that where individuals quote their Tax File Numbers to investment bodies (such as banks,
building societies, credit unions or public companies) with which they have accounts or investments, those
bodies will not automatically withhold tax amounts from the interest or dividends payable on those
investments. Where Tax File Numbers are not quoted, investment bodies are, unless the account holders or
investors are non-residents for tax purposes, liable to withhold tax from any income earned on the investments
and to do so at the highest marginal tax rate applicable to individuals (currently 46.5% of the income payable).
As residents of Australia for tax purposes, diplomatic and consular personnel have access to the annual tax-free
threshold on their taxable Australian income; currently this threshold is $6,000. (The tax-free threshold may be
less than $6,000 if a tax payer entered or left Australia permanently during the financial year). This means they
can earn private Australian income, including interest, up to this amount without having to pay Australian
income tax. They do not have to take any formal action to be treated as Australian residents for tax purposes.
The question of whether a person is a resident for tax purposes is one of fact, with the status flowing,
generally, from the intention to live in Australia during a normal-term posting. Where diplomatic and consular
personnel are in Australia on short-term postings they should, if necessary, clarify their residency status for tax
purposes with the Australian Taxation Office. Where missions or posts represent a country with which Australia
has concluded an agreement for the avoidance of double taxation, the tax position of diplomatic and consular
personnel accredited to those missions or posts will also be governed by the terms of that agreement. One
consequence that generally flows from this is that, where diplomatic and consular personnel are residents for
tax purposes and earn Australian income in excess of $6,000, the average rate of Australian tax payable on that
income will, in the case of interest and dividend income, be limited to 10% of the gross interest or 15% of the
gross dividends so included. While this limitation is only applicable to diplomatic and consular personnel from
agreement countries, it is worth noting that the average rate of Australian tax currently only exceeds 10% or
15% where taxable Australian income exceeds $18,000 or $36,000 respectively. Persons who are Australian
residents for tax purposes are normally required to complete an income tax return each year. Home-based
diplomatic and consular personnel who do not derive any private income from sources in Australia are
completely outside the scope of the Australian taxation system. They do not have to obtain Tax File Numbers,
lodge income tax returns or take any other tax-related actions. Individuals who wish to be in this position have
the option of opening a standard, non-interest-bearing cheque account with an Australian bank or other
financial institution that offers such accounts. As such, those accounts do not accrue interest and the question
of taxation does not arise. Those diplomatic and consular personnel who derive some private income in
Australia but are confident that the total amount will be below the resident tax-free threshold can apply to the
Australian Taxation Office for exemption from this requirement. However, if tax has been deducted from any
income, the person taxed may need to complete a tax return in order to secure a refund of that tax. There are
various provisions of the law that allow the Commissioner of Taxation to refund tax correctly deducted or
withheld other than by lodgement of a return. These provisions operate where the Commissioner is satisfied of
certain matters (primarily that the income will not be subject to tax and that the individual will suffer hardship
if the amount is not refunded prior to a return being lodged). If individuals have not quoted their Tax File
Numbers and wish to avail themselves of these provisions in relation to tax deducted or withheld, they should
contact the Australian Taxation Office to obtain further details. The Department is aware that as a result of
confusion about their taxation status, some diplomatic and consular personnel may have informed investment
bodies with which they have accounts or investments that they were non-residents. As a result, they have had
deducted from any interest that accrued to their accounts, or dividends paid to them, an amount to cover the
withholding tax liability imposed on non-residents. It is suggested that any diplomatic and consular personnel
ΓΡΑΦΕΙΟ ΟΕΥ ΣΥΔΝΕΫ / ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΟΣ ΟΔΗΓΟΣ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗΣ ΑΓΟΡΑΣ
σελ. 27
affected in this way may now wish to obtain a Tax File Number and notify it to the relevant investment body.
After doing so no Australian tax will be payable on interest or dividend income, provided the total Australian
income earned in the financial year does not exceed the resident tax-free threshold. Where amounts have
been deducted from interest or dividends based on advice that the individual was a non-resident for tax
purposes, the individual can request a refund of the amount of tax withheld by writing to the Deputy
Commissioner of Taxation, PO Box 9811 Moonee Ponds VIC 3039. The request should outline the
circumstances in which the amount was deducted, the amount(s) deducted, the name of the investment body
making the payment, the date(s) of payment and any other information that will assist the Tax Office in
identifying the amount(s) to be refunded. Diplomatic and consular personnel can request a refund only if they
are not required to pay any tax in Australia. If tax is to be paid, the amount of tax withheld by investment
bodies will be credited against the individual’s tax assessment. Depending on the total tax to be paid, the
individual may get a refund when the Tax Office sends the notice of tax assessment. Any enquiries should be
directed to the Australian Taxation Office, GPO Box 9990, in the capital city of the state or territory where you
are located. For telephone assistance please call the Australian Taxation Office enquiries line on 13 28 61.

ΔΙΑΔΙΚΑΣΙΕΣ ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗΣ ΦΥΤΩΝ Η ΖΩΝΤΩΝ ΖΩΩΝ
Η Αυστραλία, εφαρμόζει αυστηρότατες προδιαγραφές εισαγωγής στην γεωγραφική επικράτειά της οργανισμών που
ενδέχεται να μολύνουν την αυτόχθονα χλωρίδα ή πανίδα και να καταστρέψουν τμήματα του οικοσυστήματος.
Σύμφωνα με το Αυστραλιανό Υπουργείο Γεωργίας και την Υπηρεσία Βιοασφάλειας (Biosecurity Australia) για την
εισαγωγή φυτών ή ζώντων ζώων που είτε δεν έχουν εισαχθεί προηγουμένως είτε δεν έχουν εισαχθεί προηγουμένως
από την συγκεκριμένη χώρα αποστολής, χρειάζεται να κατατεθεί πρόταση εισαγωγής (Import Proposal). Με την
υποβολή της πρότασης η Biosecurity Australia θα εξετάσει εάν χρειάζεται ανάλυση κινδύνου εισαγωγής (Import risk
analysis) και αν επαρκούν οι πληροφορίες για να γίνει (χωρίς όλες τις απαραίτητες πληροφορίες δεν επιτελείται
ανάλυση κινδύνου). Η ανάλυση κινδύνου εισαγωγής θα γίνει όταν :
Δεν έχουν ληφθεί σχετικά μέτρα διαχείρισης κινδύνου
Τέτοια μέτρα έχουν ληφθεί στο παρελθόν αλλά εκτιμάται πως οι συνθήκες έχουν αλλάξει
Η ανάλυση κινδύνου εισαγωγής μπορεί να είναι απλή ή εκτεταμένη όταν θεωρείται πως ο κίνδυνος για την τοπική
πανίδα ή χλωρίδα είναι υψηλός ή όταν η ανάλυση εμπεριέχει σημαντικές διαφορές επιστημονικής τεκμηρίωσης. Την
απόφαση για εκτεταμένη ανάλυση λαμβάνει ο γενικός Διευθυντής της Υπηρεσίας Βιοασφάλειας.
Το χρονικό διάστημα για την εκπόνηση της ανάλυσης κινδύνου εισαγωγής είναι 24 μήνες για την απλή και 30 μήνες
για την εκτεταμένη. Περισσότερες πληροφορίες περιέχονται στην ιστοσελίδα της Υπηρεσίας Βιοασφάλειας:

ΚΑΘΕΣΤΩΣ ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗΣ ΦΑΡΜΑΚΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΚΑΛΛΥΝΤΙΚΩΝ
ΦΑΡΜΑΚΑ
Στην κατηγορία των φαρμάκων συμπεριλαμβάνονται:
1. φάρμακα που δίδονται με ιατρική συνταγή
2. φάρμακα που πωλούνται άνευ συνταγής (OTC – over the counter). Αυτά περιλαμβάνουν γνωστά συστατικά με
μακρά χρήση (για καταπολέμηση κρυολογήματος, μυκητοκτόνα, αντηλιακά, παυσίπονα) αλλά και συμπληρωματικά
φάρμακα – βότανα, βιταμίνες, αρωματοθεραπεία και ομοιοπαθητικά φάρμακα.
Για να διακινηθούν τα φάρμακα στην αγορά της Αυστραλίας χρειάζονται άδεια. Ο αρμόδιος κρατικός φορέας είναι το
TGA – Therapeutic Goods Administration. Για να πωληθεί το προϊόν στην Αυστραλία θα πρέπει να καταχωρηθεί στο
Αυστραλιανό Μητρώο Θεραπευτικών Αγαθών (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods -ARTG). Τα φάρμακα είτε
εγγράφονται στο μητρώο είτε καταχωρούνται (registered/listed).
(α) Αυτά που εγγράφονται είναι τα φάρμακα της κατηγορίας 1. καθώς και ορισμένα από την κατηγορία 2. στα
φάρμακα αυτά δίδεται αριθμός εγγραφής (AUST R 12345) που αναγράφεται κατόπιν στη συσκευασία. Η διαδικασία
εγγραφής διαρκεί αρκετούς μήνες.
(β) Τα υπόλοιπα φάρμακα που καταχωρούνται λαμβάνουν αριθμό AUST L 12345 ο οποίος αναγράφεται στη
συσκευασία. Η διαδικασία καταχώρησης διαρκεί 5-10 ημέρες.

ΚΑΛΛΥΝΤΙΚΑ
Καλλυντικά θεωρούνται τα προϊόντα τα οποία χρησιμοποιούνται στο δέρμα και την στοματική κοιλότητα με σκοπό την
καθαριότητα, την διατήρηση της κατάστασης, την αλλαγή της εμφάνισης, την προστασία, την εξαφάνιση ή αλλαγή της
οσμής.
Παραδείγματα καλλυντικών είναι τα ενυδατικά προϊόντα, τα προϊόντα καθαρισμού, οι περισσότερες οδοντόκρεμες, τα
προϊόντα περιποίησης των μαλλιών και τα αποσμητικά. Υπάρχουν προϊόντα όπως βακτηριοκτόνα καθαριστικά
δέρματος τα οποία ανάλογα με την παρουσίασή τους δύνανται να χαρακτηρισθούν ως καλλυντικά. Οτιδήποτε προϊόν
διατείνεται πως έχει θεραπευτικές ιδιότητες κατηγοριοποιείται ως φάρμακο. Τα καλλυντικά δεν χρειάζονται ειδική
άδεια από τις κρατικές αρχές. Ωστόσο οι εισαγωγείς και κατασκευαστές θα πρέπει να εγγράψουν το προϊόν στην
υπηρεσία National Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS). Τα συστατικά που περιέχονται στο
προίόν θα πρέπει να καταχωρηθούν στην τράπεζα πληροφοριών της υπηρεσίας NICNAS, ούτως ώστε αξιολογηθούν
αναφορικά με τις υγειονομικές και περιβαλλοντικές τους επιπτώσεις και λάβουν σύσταση για ασφαλή χρήση. Δεν
υπάρχουν πρότυπα και προδιαγραφές για την κατασκευή καλλυντικών στην Αυστραλία. Επίσης δεν χρειάζεται έγκριση
για την διαφήμιση των καλλυντικών.

ΔΗΜΟΣΙΕΣ ΠΡΟΜΗΘΕΙΕΣ
ΓΡΑΦΕΙΟ ΟΕΥ ΣΥΔΝΕΫ / ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΟΣ ΟΔΗΓΟΣ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗΣ ΑΓΟΡΑΣ
σελ. 29
Η Αυστραλία είναι η μοναδική ανεπτυγμένη βιομηχανικά χώρα η οποία δεν έχει υπογράψει την πλειονομερή
Συμφωνία για τις Δημόσιες Προμήθειες στο πλαίσιο του Παγκόσμιου Οργανισμού Εμπορίου. Το ρυθμιστικό πλαίσιο
στις σχετικές οδηγίες προβλέπει πως «οι δυνητικοί προμηθευτές θα έχουν ίση μεταχείριση ανάλογα με τις
δυνατότητές των και όχι τον βαθμό της αλλοδαπής συμμετοχής, την έδρα ή το μέγεθός των». Μία σημαντική εξαίρεση
αποτελούν οι προμήθειες που γίνονται από ΜΜΕ (ορισμένες ως εταιρείες με δυναμικό < 100 εργαζομένων) οι οποίες
καλύπτουν το 25% του συνολικού όγκου σε εθνικό επίπεδο.
Από τους περιορισμούς καθώς και τις πολιτικές διάκρισης εις βάρος ευρωπαϊκών εταιρειών αναφέρονται οι εξής:

Δεν υπάρχει υποχρέωση σε πολιτειακό επίπεδο για τις πολιτειακές αρχές να εφαρμόζουν πολιτική ίσης
μεταχείρισης σε όλους τους προμηθευτές.

Οι πολιτειακές κυβερνήσεις έχουν υιοθετήσει την ελάχιστη υποχρέωση να εφαρμόζουν εθνική μεταχείριση
σε επιχειρήσεις των ΗΠΑ (που απορρέει από την διμερή συμφωνία ελευθέρου εμπορίου AUSFTA) για
προμήθειες άνω του αναφερθέντος ορίου.

Κάποιες πολιτείες, όπως η Νότια Αυστραλία, επιβάλλουν πρόσθετα τέλη σε αγαθά με συγκεκριμένο ποσοστό
εισηχθέντος περιεχομένου που ευνοεί Αυστραλούς προμηθευτές.

Οι αρμόδιοι κυβερνητικοί φορείς εφαρμόζουν 20% τιμολογιακή προτίμηση σε αγαθά ή υπηρεσίες
αυστραλιανής προέλευσης (και προέλευσης Ν. Ζηλανδίας). Πρόσφατα οι πολιτείες της Victoria (Μελβούρνη)
New South Wales (Σύδνεϋ) έχουν ενισχύσει αυτές τις πολιτικές διάκρισης.
Οι δημόσιες προμήθειες στην Αυστραλία δεν διενεργούνται από ένα ενιαίο φορέα. Κάθε δημόσια υπηρεσία είναι
υπεύθυνη για τον καθορισμό τόσο των εξοπλιστικών αναγκών της, όσο και για τη δρομολόγηση της συγκεκριμένης
διαδικασίας προμήθειας του αναγκαίου υλικού. Κάθε δυνητικός προμηθευτής οφείλει, ως εκ τούτου να παρακολουθεί
και να μελετά τις απαιτήσεις, τους κανόνες και προδιαγραφές λειτουργίας εκάστης υπηρεσίας που τυχόν τον αφορά
προκειμένου να καταστεί σε θέση να ανταποκριθεί στις συγκεκριμένες εξοπλιστικές ανάγκες της τελευταίας.
Παρά την ως άνω διάσπαρτη ευθύνη και επιχειρησιακή αυτοτέλεια των αυστραλιανών δημοσίων υπηρεσιών, η
ομοσπονδιακή κυβέρνηση έχει θεσπίσει ένα γενικό πλαίσιο – οδηγό υλοποίησης των προμηθειών του δημοσίου
(Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines), στόχος του οποίου είναι η εξασφάλιση του ανταγωνισμού, της
αποτελεσματικότητας, της χρηστής διαχείρισης και τέλος της διαφάνειας της διαδικασίας. Για την άμεση και έγκαιρη
ενημέρωση των προμηθευτών αναφορικά με τρέχοντες και μελλοντικούς διαγωνισμούς, οι ενδιαφερόμενοι μπορούν
να ανατρέξουν στην ιστοσελίδα http://www.tenders.gov.au. Προτείνεται επίσης η εγγραφή ως μέλος ενός προμηθευτή
στην προαναφερομένη ιστοσελίδα, μέσω της οποίας δύναται επίσης να ζητήσει την τακτική ενημέρωση του για τυχόν
διαγωνισμούς, αλλά και να υποβάλλει αιτήσεις συμμετοχής κάνοντας χρήση του σχετικού ασφαλούς ηλεκτρονικού
περιβάλλοντος. Ιδιαίτερα όσον αφορά στην ενημέρωση και την υποβολή προσφορών που αφορούν σε προμήθειες του
Υπουργείου Άμυνας υπάρχει η ιστοσελίδα http://www.defence.gov.au/dmo.
ΓΕΝΙΚΑ ΣΥΜΠΕΡΑΣΜΑΤΑ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΑΓΟΡΑ ΤΗΣ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΣ
Η αγορά της Αυστραλίας είναι γενικά ανοικτή σε υπερπόντιους προμηθευτές - το ύψος των εισαγωγικών δασμών
διαμορφώθηκε σταδιακά στο 5% (γενικό ποσοστό) και 0% για επιλέξιμες αναπτυσσόμενες χώρες από την 1η Ιουλίου
1996.
Ο μέσος καταναλωτής της Αυστραλίας μπορεί να χαρακτηριστεί ως αρκετά συντηρητικός και έχοντας επίγνωση της
"αξίας των χρημάτων". Τα τελευταία χρόνια επικρατεί η τάση ο καταναλωτής να απαιτεί την πραγματική ποιότητα
για τα χρήματα που πληρώνει. Σε πολλά τμήματα της αγοράς, οι πωλήσεις φθηνών αγαθών μειώθηκαν καθώς οι
καταναλωτές είναι διατεθειμένοι να πληρώσουν περισσότερα χρήματα για ένα προϊόν που θα διαρκέσει. Αυτό δεν
σημαίνει ότι οι καταναλωτές είναι διατεθειμένοι να πληρώσουν εύκολα υψηλές τιμές καθώς οι περισσότεροι
συγκρίνουν τις τιμές από διάφορα καταστήματα πριν αποφασίσουν για την αγορά τους.
Από την άλλη πλευρά, υπάρχει μια προτίμηση για ορισμένα εισαγόμενα προϊόντα στα πιο δαπανηρά τμήματα της
αγοράς. Τα γυναικεία ενδύματα και υποδήματα από την Ιταλία και Γαλλία για παράδειγμα, πωλούνται σε σχετικά
υψηλές τιμές όπως και τα αυτοκίνητα από την Ευρώπη. Ένα άλλο σημείο αφορά την ποιότητα η οποία αναμένεται
από τους καταναλωτές. Πολλές επιχειρήσεις λιανικής πώλησης στη χώρα λειτουργούν με μια πολιτική επιστροφής
των χρημάτων, ακόμη και εάν ο καταναλωτής απλώς άλλαξε την άποψή του για την αγορά του προϊόντος. Ο
καταναλωτής της Αυστραλίας για το λόγο αυτό έχει πολύ υψηλές ποιοτικές προδιαγραφές που υποστηρίζονται από
ένα ευρύ φάσμα νομοθεσίας προστασίας των καταναλωτών. Οι εισαγωγείς και οι έμποροι λιανικής πώλησης
αφομοιώνουν τη στάση αυτή και δεν θα δεχθούν προϊόντα που δεν πληρούν τα προτύπων ποιότητας και ελέγχου.
ΘΕΜΑΤΑ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗΣ ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΗΣ ΚΟΥΛΤΟΥΡΑΣ
Χαρακτηριστικά Εισαγωγέων:
ΓΡΑΦΕΙΟ ΟΕΥ ΣΥΔΝΕΫ / ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΟΣ ΟΔΗΓΟΣ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗΣ ΑΓΟΡΑΣ
σελ. 30
Ο μέσος εισαγωγέας της χώρας θα ζητήσει σχετικά αρκετά μικρές ποσότητες προϊόντων αλλά θα αναμένει
χαμηλότερες τιμές σε σύγκριση με αγοραστές από τις ΗΠΑ ή τις περισσότερες ευρωπαϊκές χώρες καθώς επίσης και
ακρίβεια για την παράδοση σε εύθετο χρόνο.
Οι κύριες ανησυχίες των εισαγωγέων της Αυστραλίας είναι η τιμή, η ποιότητα, η αξιοπιστία και η προθεσμία
παράδοσης των αγαθών, με την τιμή να παίζει τον μεγαλύτερο ρόλο. Ορισμένοι από τους λόγους αυτής της σκληρής
στάσης από τους εισαγωγείς είναι:
ο έντονος ανταγωνισμός στους τομείς των εισαγωγέων και του λιανικού εμπορίου
ο ανοικτός χαρακτήρας του καθεστώτος εισαγωγών
ο μεγάλος αριθμός προμηθευτών στις γειτονικές χώρες που προσπαθούν να πωλήσουν στην Αυστραλία
το γεγονός ότι η αυστραλιανή αγορά των περιόδων εμπορίας είναι αντίθετη από το βόρειο ημισφαίριο και
πολλοί υπερπόντιοι προμηθευτές είναι διατεθειμένοι να προσφέρουν "εκτός εποχής" εκπτώσεις στις πωλήσεις
στην Αυστραλία.
Κατά την πρώτη φορά που εισάγει προϊόντα από έναν νέο προμηθευτή, ο εισαγωγέας συχνά κάνει δύο ή τρεις
δοκιμαστικές παραγγελίες για να εξασφαλιστεί ότι ο προμηθευτής πληροί τα πρότυπα ποιότητας. Το στοιχείο αυτό
βέβαια δεν ισχύει για τις περιπτώσεις που οι προμηθευτές είναι δυνατά ονόματα της αγοράς. Άλλος σοβαρός
κώδικας εμπορίου είναι ότι οι προμηθευτές να μην μπορούν να αψηφούν οποιαδήποτε συμφωνία για να πωλούν
και σε άλλους εισαγωγείς, χωρίς προηγούμενη προσυνεννόηση.
Ένα άλλο σημείο σχετικά με τους εισαγωγείς είναι στάση τους απέναντι στους νέους προμηθευτές. Οι περισσότεροι
εισαγωγείς δεν θα ήθελαν να απομακρυνθούν από τους προηγούμενους προμηθευτές τους λόγω των δυσκολιών
που αναμένονται από τις επιχειρηματικές δραστηριότητες με έναν νέο προμηθευτή. Ενώ οι εισαγωγείς μπορεί
αρχικά να προσελκύονται από μια ανταγωνιστική τιμή, είναι απρόθυμοι να ασχοληθούν με έναν προμηθευτή, ο
οποίος δεν τους παρέχει κάποια βεβαιότητα σε σχέση με την ποιότητα του προϊόντος, αξιόπιστη παράδοση και
τακτική επικοινωνία. Παράλληλα εφαρμόζουν το σύστημα αγοράς μέσω “Buyers” που εδρεύουν στο εξωτερικό και
που λειτουργούν ως εμπορικοί σύμβουλοι κάνοντας “trade scouting”.
Το εξωτερικό εμπόριο της Αυστραλίας έχει εστιαστεί κατά τα τελευταία χρόνια όλο και περισσότερο στις
αναπτυσσόμενες οικονομίες της Ασίας και κυρίως στην Κίνα. Οι εισαγωγές ενός ευρέως φάσματος βιομηχανικών και
καταναλωτικών αγαθών από τις χώρες αυτές (ηλεκτρονικά είδη ευρείας κατανάλωσης, παιχνίδια, υφάσματα, είδη
ένδυσης και υπόδησης), έχουν αυξηθεί και αναμένεται ότι οι προμηθευτές από τις χώρες αυτές θα συνεχίσουν να
αποτελούν ισχυρούς ανταγωνιστές για τους νεοεισερχόμενους στην αγορά.
Το βασικό μήνυμα για νέους προμηθευτές είναι ότι η Αυστραλία θα παραμείνει μια σημαντική αγορά για ένα ευρύ
φάσμα βιομηχανικών προϊόντων (μηχανήματα κ.λ.π.) και στα καταναλωτικά αγαθά υπάρχουν ευκαιρίες για τις
αναπτυσσόμενες χώρες για την πλήρωση κενών που αφήνουν οι -πλέον ακριβοί σχετικά- προμηθευτές όπως από την
Ιαπωνία, Ταϊβάν και Κορέα. Ωστόσο, υπάρχει πολύ ισχυρός ανταγωνισμός από τη ΛΔ Κίνας και οι νέοι προμηθευτές
θα πρέπει να υιοθετήσουν μια αποτελεσματική και ιδιαίτερα αποδοτική στρατηγική εμπορίας και μάρκετινγκ για να
κατακτήσουν ένα αρχικό μερίδιο στην αυστραλιανή αγορά. Αοαιτείται όμως πρώτιστα σοβαρού προϋπολογισμού
μάρκετινγκ.
ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΙΚΟ ΥΠΟΒΑΘΡΟ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ-ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΣ
Το γεγονός που συνδέει τις οικονομίες Ελλάδας και Αυστραλίας και δημιουργεί προϋποθέσεις συνεργασίας είναι
η μεγάλη ομογενειακή παρουσία των Ελλήνων στην Αυστραλία. Οι Έλληνες ομογενείς διατηρούν δεσμούς με την
Ελλάδα, και θέτουν τις προϋποθέσεις ανάπτυξης των εμπορικών και οικονομικών δεσμών.
Ο αριθμός των Αυστραλών τουριστών που επισκέφθηκαν την Ελλάδα τα τελευταία πέντε έτη είναι σχετικά μικρός
δεδομένου του πληθυσμού της χώρας καθώς και του εισοδηματικού επιπέδου των κατοίκων και υπάρχει μεγάλη
δυνατότητα αύξησης του αριθμού αυτού με ευεργετικές συνέπειες για την ελληνική οικονομία.
Η αγορά των τροφίμων συνεχώς εξελίσσεται στην Αυστραλία καθώς από κοινωνικής απόψεως η χώρα προσεγγίζει
περισσότερο πολύ-πολιτισμικά μοντέλα κοινωνικής αποδοχής και συνεπώς καθίσταται πιο δεκτική σε ξένες
επιρροές. Αυτό σημαίνει πως η Ομογένεια δεν θα πρέπει να θεωρείται απαραίτητα ο μοναδικός καταναλωτής των
Ελληνικών τροφίμων αλλά ότι αυτά θα μπορούσαν να προορίζονται για την ευρύτερη κατανάλωση. Υπάρχει
περιθώριο περεταίρω αύξησης των Ελληνικών συσκευασμένων τροφίμων στην Αυστραλία, συγκεκριμένα στους
τομείς γαλακτοκομίας και ελαιολάδου αλλά και στους ειδικότερους τομείς των συσκευασμένων έτοιμων και
προκατασκευασμένων τροφίμων. Θα πρέπει να σημειωθεί πως η αγορά ελαιολάδου στην Αυστραλία βρίσκεται σε
μία ουσιαστική καμπή διότι το εγχώριας παραγωγής ελαιόλαδο αποτελεί πλέον σημαντικό ανταγωνιστή των
ευρωπαϊκής προέλευσης ελαιολάδων. Άλλος τομέας που μπορεί να καταστεί ιδιαίτερα πρόσφορος για τις Ελληνικές
επιχειρήσεις είναι ο τομέας των δομικών υλικών (μάρμαρα, γρανίτες, προφίλ αλουμινίου όπου η χώρα υστερεί
εμφανώς). Ιδιαίτερα σημαντική αναμένεται να καταστούν οι ναυτιλιακές εμπορικές μεταφορές ιδιαίτερα στον τομέα
της ενέργειας (φυσικό αέριο) όπου η Δυτική Αυστραλία, μέσω διεθνών παικτών, θα πρωταγωνιστήσει ως κύρια πηγή
παραγωγής και μεταφοράς.

ΓΕΝΙΚΟ ΗΛΕΚΤΡΟΝΙΚΟ ΠΛΑΙΣΙΟ “DOING BUSINESS” ΣΤΗΝ ΑΥΣΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΗ ΑΓΟΡΑ
Η Αυστραλία διακρίνεται ιδιαίτερα για τις υπηρεσίες “e-Government” και ιδιαίτερα για τις Υπηρεσίες “G2BGovernment To Business” και “G2C-Government to Consumers”.
Oι κατωτέρω ηλεκτρονικοί τόποι δίδουν με σαφήνεια και πληρότητα εικόνα για τις διαδικασίες ίδρυσης και
λειτουργίας επιχείρησης, σύμφωνα δε με την πρόσφατη μελέτη της Παγκόσμιας Τράπεζας “Doing Business 2013” η
Αυστραλία κατετάγη συνολικά 10η χώρα για διευκόλυνση επενδύσεων και 2η για τις διαδικασίες διευκόλυνσης
έναρξης ιδιωτικής επιχείρησης.
