B2B Trade & Sourcing Services

End-to-End Cross-Border Import Sourcing Infrastructure

ATI Enterprise Co offers a structured suite of B2B services specifically designed for Australian companies buying bulk goods from manufacturers in mainland China. We operate a local Sydney compliance desk and coordinate with warehouse and inspection nodes across major Chinese manufacturing hubs to manage quality risk and ensure secure delivery.

1. Sourcing Process Workflow

Importing at a wholesale volume requires careful coordination across multiple stages. We manage the entire lifecycle to minimize risk and avoid delays:

• Supplier Sourcing & Verification: Finding qualified manufacturers, verifying registration records, and negotiating wholesale pricing terms.
• Tooling & Prototyping: Inspecting first article samples and verifying specifications before starting mass production.
• Onsite Quality Inspections: Performing pre-shipment testing on the factory floor (using AQL standards) and compiling detailed PDF inspection reports.
• Ocean Freight Consolidation: Coordinating shipping containers, handling loading processes, and booking sea freight lanes.
• Customs & Biosecurity Clearance: Managing import filings, quarantine treatment (ISPM 15 compliance), and tariff concession certificates (ChAFTA Form COO).
• Local Port Cartage & ATO Invoicing: Coordinating port transport and issuing Australian Tax Invoices (GST) to support input tax credit claims.

2. Incoterms & Freight Coordination Rules

We work under standard international trade terms (Incoterms 2020) to define clear boundaries for transport costs, risks, and responsibilities. Our standard services cover:

• FOB (Free On Board): The manufacturer handles inland transport to the departure port (such as Ningbo or Yantian), and we manage the international ocean freight, customs clearances, and local delivery.
• CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight): The manufacturer pays for sea shipping to the Australian destination port, and we manage customs clearance, biosecurity reviews, local port handling, and final delivery.
• DAP / DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): We handle the complete logistics chain from the factory to your warehouse, managing all customs duties and GST filings.

3. Compliance & Accounting Transparency

Sourcing transactions are billed through our registered Australian corporate structure, ATI ENTERPRISE CO PTY LTD, a registered Australian Pty Ltd entity. All invoices are structured as valid Australian Tax Invoices, detailing import GST, ocean shipping, local port fees, and customs duties. This transparency ensures simple company bookkeeping and supports input tax credit recovery from the ATO.
