IMPORT/EXPORT ISSUES
When a business buys or sells goods a number of legal issues arise in relation to the formation and enforcement of the contract. When a business buys goods from outside Australia (importing) or sells goods to customers outside Australia (exporting) there are additional legal issues to consider.
There is always a risk involved whenever contracting parties are in different countries. Countries have different laws. Also, if a dispute arises, there are difficulties with claiming against a person or a company outside Australia.
