The TAP program was an invaluable experience for us and for anyone considering exporting their product or service.

Through TAP we learned that export isn’t as scary as you’d think, it is a matter of connecting with the right people to navigate new areas and avoiding mistakes. We’ve already implemented export to our targeted country, we are being precise and targeted with whom and how we get our apparel into Australia. We’ve established secondary manufacturing and are constantly learning the how, what, and why of business and export.
