Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to research, to understand, to describe and to analyze step by step the import process of wine from Australia to Finland. This thesis was not ordered by any case company but is studying the major actor of the wine sector in Finland – the state-owned company Alko.
The first two chapters of this thesis introduce the thesis and explain its purpose and outline. The theoretical part is divided into five parts. In a first chapter the Finnish system is presented with a main focus on Alko. In a second chapter the different regulations applying to wine in Australia, in the European Union and in Finland are listed. The other theoretical chapters raise issues related to trading conditions, international transportation and import formalities.
Information was mainly gathered from books and online sources through desk research, and empirical part is based on data collected from emails exchanged with the buyer in Alko in charge of importing wines from Australia to Finland.
The empirical part consists in a description of the actual import process together with a process chart illustrating the sequence of the process.
The final part of the thesis is an evaluation of the process, explaining its benefits and the difficulties encountered. In addition, recommendations for further studies are provided in this final part to guide future thesis writers.
