International trade is the exchange of capital, goods, and services across international borders or territories because there is a need or want of goods or services. Carrying out trade at an international level is a complex process when compared to domestic trade. When trade takes place between two or more nations factors like currency, government policies, economy, judicial system, laws, and markets influence trade.

A product that is transferred or sold from a party in one country to a party in another country is an export from the originating country, and an import to the country receiving that product. Imports and exports are accounted for in a country's current account in the balance of payments..

Australia has strong trade ties with the rest of the world. Its location has also allowed Australia to become a major supplier to markets in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Australian Government has a number of policies that seek to develop and assist Australian businesses involved in international trade. Regulation also exists to protect domestic industries, consumers, and the environment from harmful and dangerous goods imported from overseas.
