Suggestions For A (Meat) Pie Business

I've called the department for information about importing pies, or foods. I'm aloud to import meat pies from Australia like they say only have to pay two kinds of different taxes.

But my concern would be if it's possible to import pies all the way from Australia? How long would the shipping be and would the pies stay fresh?

Also with all the taxes and shipping cost wouldn't be better to have some sort of franchise business and make the pies here in Holland

Thanks for the responses.
