Import and Export is a mind-boggling industry in Australia, when you consider that every year between Australia and China (the most important state of reference for imports end exports) there is an exchange of 150k million dollars. There are other interesting countries for Australia, such as (in order) Japan, USA, Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, Malaysia, Thailand, Germany, Indonesia, India, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the UAE thanks to this the annual turnover is nearly 700k million. It’s clear that this industry is extremely profitable.
Importer or Exporter are in the CSOL list, that means you need an Australian employer interested in your professional profile to get a sponsorship. An International Trade course might be ideal for those who have already worked in this field or have some academic knowledge about imports and exports. Many Italians dream of opening their own business that imports products made in to Australia, so this course could be the right one, but the truth is that there is already everything Down Under and things that cannot or should not be imported, are produced directly in Australia, like mozzarella cheese.
The course is made up of Certificate IV in International Trade and Diploma in International Business (88 weeks), almost 25 months visa and can offer a wide overview of the industry in Australia and overseas, looking at the Asian market, new opportunities, laws and rules and the promotion of products in other countries.
