New Exporters
As a new exporter, your first step is to register with Australian Customs for their Integrated Cargo System. There will be many other types of documents you need, such as bills of lading, bills of exchange and insurance certificates.
Documents requested by Country
You will need these documents as requested by the country you are exporting to. The Austrade website maintains information on each market and the import documents that are required for that market.
