Enrica Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 You should approach the Small Business Development Co in your Capital City.Your profile does not say where you are based in Australia.When it regards energy drink or food stuffs you need to get a clearance from a certain government department to ensure that there are no unwanted substances in your product. The SBDC should have the infoirmation for you. Also get hold of the Department of Customs and excide, they can tell you how much duty you can expect to pay on your goods as you need to factor that into you costings as well.The lables on your bottles might need to be varied in accordance with Australian regulations.You need to register a business and get an ABN and a TFN , you need to decide if you are going to register as a PTY Ltd or Sole Trade or Partnership etc. I would recommend that you speak to an accountant, as there is aslo other GST implications with regards to imports.Good luck with your venture.regardsEnrica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
