Acting as a bilateral organisation, the Chamber can provide a comprehensive range of trade services designed to assist companies and individuals in targeting business partners and in solving import/export matters. Please find below brief descriptions of our main services.

STANDARD SERVICES

2. Contacts Start up
This service consists of a direct promotion of your products and your trade requests. The Chamber approaches the companies on your behalf and establishes first contact in order to submit your business proposal.
The main steps of this service are:
- targeting the right partner profiles and creating a data base (as described above);
- sending of a proposal letter (fax/email) to introduce your company and the products;
- direct (telephone) contact to check any interest from the companies to receive further information;
- sending out promotional materials (brochures, catalogues, samples, etc.) by email or post/courier*
- follow up to collect a feedback and to eventually stabilise the contact.
* (the cost of sending by post/courier has to be payed separately)
You will receive a final report, which includes the profiles of the companies which are interested in establishing a business relationship with you; and following this, you will have the opportunity to contact them directly to start direct negotiations.
The cost of this service is $ 995 AUS. Members of the Chamber are entitled to a 15% discount. If requested, the Chamber can also organise business meetings in our office in Sydney with the potential counterparts; this extra involves a recharge of 25% on the original price (out of charge only for our members).   

3. Commercial Assistance 
This service involves a complete and ongoing commercial assistance to successfully finalise the agreement. The Chamber contacts the companies on your behalf and then manages all the information requests between you and the potential partners, overcoming the linguistic barriers and the commercial practice differences.
The most critical issues are:

- product features (to be verified in compliance with the safety standards of the importing country);
- freight/shipping (to be arranged according with the conservation conditions of the products);
- custom (taxes and duties calculation);
- payments (to be scheduled including a reasonable warranty for the sender), etc.

If requested, the Chamber can also prepare a contract to set the terms and the conditions which you and the counterpart have discussed; this extra involves a recharge of 25% on the original price (Free of charge for our Members).

1. Agency / distribution Negotiation
This service is designed to help you to get in contact with the manufacturer of a product or with the owner of a brand which you are interested in dealing with.
