Australia is certainly a dog of a place when it comes to trading across borders and the same pretty much goes for New Zealand. Continental European Union members who are next to each other have a good run when it comes to trading across borders. Germans seem to manage to stuff that up nonetheless.

Australia and New Zealand get a poor rating because of border charges for a processing of customs documents. In Continental Europe, where there are no border controls for land crossings between EU members, these border compliance costs obviously do not apply nor is there any waiting at border checkpoints.
Utopia, you are standing in it!
