Around 1,000 Australian businesses were surveyed, 93% of which were involved in exporting, 48% in importing, 23% in other international activities, and 19% in two-way investment;
China (23%), the United States (22%) and New Zealand (12%) were the most important markets for respondents, by international revenue;
