Sidoarjo, Indonesia – July 10, 2025 – As part of its commitment to expand into international markets, tr3maxs.com, a general trading company based in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, recently attended the “Unlocking Australia” webinar, held on July 10, 2025, via Zoom. This free, public online event was part of the Indonesia–Australia Prosperity Expo (IAPEX) 2025, aimed at strengthening bilateral business cooperation under the IA-CEPA framework.
The session featured key speakers including Agung Haris Setiawan, Trade Attaché of the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra, and the official IAPEX 2025 organizing team. It highlighted practical strategies for Indonesian businesses to tap into the Australian market through trade agreements and business matching initiatives.
Why tr3maxs.com Joined the Webinar
While cigarettes and tobacco products were not directly discussed during the session, tr3maxs.com saw this as a valuable entry point to better understand the landscape of Australian imports, market trends, and trade facilitation under IA-CEPA.
“We joined this webinar to gain a broader perspective on how Indonesian businesses can engage with Australia. Although cigarettes weren’t the main focus, we see strong potential for niche markets and believe our products could meet the demand of specific distributors or retailers in Australia,” said a representative from tr3maxs.com.
With years of experience in domestic trading, tr3maxs.com is now exploring export opportunities for Indonesian-made cigarettes — a category known for its distinctive flavor profiles and production methods.
What We Learned from IAPEX 2025 Webinar
The webinar provided valuable insights on:
-
How IA-CEPA works and what advantages it offers.
-
Key product sectors that are gaining traction in Australia.
-
How to register and participate in business matching and the IAPEX 2025 trade expo.
Even though tobacco was not among the highlighted sectors, IA-CEPA offers reduced tariffs and a streamlined export process, which can benefit businesses across multiple industries — including tobacco, if regulations and licensing are met.
What’s Next for tr3maxs.com?
tr3maxs.com is taking several steps forward following the event:
-
Conducting further research on Australian tobacco import regulations.
-
Identifying potential partners and distributors for cigarette products.
-
Exploring ways to join future business matching events and trade expos under IAPEX 2025.
We are confident that with the right strategy and partnerships, Indonesian cigarettes can find their place in Australia’s competitive but open market.
