International business is becoming a comprehensive and widespread phenomenon of modern civilization, and it refers to conducting business transactions between partners from more than one country. Parties in such transactions may be individuals, individual companies, groups of companies or government entities. Since we are talking about business transactions, the main goal of international business is making a profit – just as with domestic business making. Small companies are also increasingly getting involved in international business. International business can take many forms, from basic import-export operations to very significant foreign direct investment. An importer is a trader who carries out a commercial activity by importing goods into the country, and an exporter is a trader who performs a registered activity and exports goods out of the country. Imports of goods can be divided into two categories. Imports of finished products with the aim of selling them immediately to the consumer, or imports of raw materials to be used in further production. After Croatia's accession to the European Union, the customs clearance procedure has been simplified in such a way that goods coming traveling between different EU member states are not subject to customs. Thanks to that, today the import procedure and the performance of import tasks is much easier. This paper presents international business activities of the company Sonora d.o.o. The company imports finished products to resell, and it also engages in production and sale of silver jewelry and decorative objects. The objectives of this paper are, in addition to a theoretical overview of international business, to define and highlight the importance of imports, to state how the company reached suppliers from third countries, define the reasons why the company chose those suppliers and finally to give a brief insight into the business of Sonora d.o.o. in the domestic market.
