ISSUE 1. Can I Identify Companies Involved with Australian Export or Import trade?
Unfortunately, due to strictly enforced Privacy Laws in Australia, Australian import or export statistics do not include any company or importer/exporter information. This sort of information is not available from any source in Australia as its release is against Australian Law. In some instances, you may be able to deduce company information where you are able to combine trade statistics with other market knowledge you may have. For example:  Let us assume your competitor has factories and warehouses in Jakarta (Indonesia) and you are confident they are the only company exporting to Australia from that location. In these circumstances, imports from Jakarta may be deduced as your competitor company imports Second example – you believe you and your competitor are the only firms exporting from Fremantle (Western Australia) to Japan. You are then able to subtract from Fremantle to Japan exports, your own exports, to estimate your competitors exports volumes and prices.
