Fiji (ISO-Code: FJ) is an island nation in the South Pacific, located about 1,100 kilometers northeast of New Zealand and comprising over 300 islands. Politically, Fiji is a parliamentary republic with stable democratic structures. The climate is tropical maritime, characterized by high temperatures, high humidity, and a rainy and cyclone season from November to April. Economically, the country is focused on services, tourism, agriculture, and fishing, with sugar, fish products, and timber exports traditionally playing an important role. Foreign trade is central; exports generate revenue, while Fiji is highly dependent on imports for food, fuel, and industrial goods. Strategically located ports and an international airport network ensure the country's transit and logistics function for regional shipping and air traffic. The national currency is the Fiji Dollar (FJD), which enables stable economic transactions and trade relations. Fiji benefits from its geographical location as a regional hub in the Pacific and a hub for supply chains between Asia, Australia, and America. Infrastructure, political stability, and maritime resources enhance the economic significance of the country and its role in international trade.

Rund 90 Prozent des Aussenhandels laufen über die Häfen Suva (Container, Transhipment-Hub des Südpazifiks) und Lautoka (Massengut wie Zucker, Melasse und Erdöl).

### Welcher Flughafen ist für Luftfracht massgebend?

Der Nadi International Airport (NAN) ist das wichtigste internationale Tor mit Zollabfertigung und bondgelagertem Frachtterminal. Nausori (SUV) bei Suva ergänzt das Netz.

Fidschi gewährt Präferenzen unter PICTA und dem Melanesian Spearhead Group Abkommen (MSGTA), die je eigene Ursprungsregeln haben. PACER Plus ist unterzeichnet, aber noch nicht ratifiziert.

Die Zyklonsaison von November bis April bringt Sturm, Starkregen und Überschwemmungen. Hafen- und Flughafenbetrieb können zeitweise eingeschränkt sein, was See- und Luftfracht verzögert.
