The difference

One representative. Two markets. Zero guesswork.

FAQ

Questions clients often ask

Don't see yours? Send us a message — we reply within one business day.

Do I need a company in Australia or Vietnam to trade?

Not necessarily. Many clients start by working through us as their representative office and an established importer or distributor, then decide on a local entity once volumes justify it.

How do I reduce import duties?

Goods that meet the rules of origin under AANZFTA, CPTPP or RCEP may qualify for preferential tariffs. We help classify your goods and prepare the correct Certificate of Origin.

How long does the first shipment take?

It depends on the product. Low-risk manufactured goods can move within weeks; food, plant and animal products may need permits, testing or registration first. We give you a realistic timeline in the assessment stage.

Can you verify a buyer or supplier for me?

Yes. We check business registration, trading history and references, and can visit premises in person before you sign or pay.

How are your fees structured?

We offer fixed-fee assessments, per-shipment packages and monthly retainers for ongoing representation. Fees are quoted in writing before work begins.
