A: No. This is not an export from the UK as the goods were not in the UK when the supply of them was made. As per paragraph 4.8.2 of Notice 700 (General VAT guide) the "Place of Supply of Goods" is where they are when the supply is made (or possibly where they are imported) and so this would be China or Australia and the sale therefore outside-the-scope of UK VAT. Advice may be needed in China or Australia but the only requirement in the UK would be to record the sale in box 6 of the UK VAT return as a sale or other output with no UK VAT to be declared in box 1 of the return.
