Business Guides

Short, practical guides for starting business between Republika Srpska and Austria.

Export roadmap

From market check to first delivery: classification, duty benefit, compliance, contract, proof of origin and customs clearance. Details are on the page Export to Austria.

Contracts and payment

  • Agree Incoterms® 2020 explicitly and name them in the contract.
  • Match payment terms to risk: prepayment, letter of credit, down payment, payment period.
  • Define jurisdiction and governing law; draft the contract in a shared language.

First conversation with Austrian partners

  • Prepare a company profile, references and price list in German or English.
  • Punctuality, clear commitments and quick replies matter in everyday business.
  • Follow up within 48 hours after the meeting.

Fairs and delegations

  • Book appointments in advance instead of waiting at the stand.
  • Bring samples and documents; observe customs rules for samples.
