I have a chance to get some songs recorded in Australia, what mechanical royalties do I charge them? Each country has different rates, do I charge the rate of Canada or the rate in Australia? What is the rate in Australia?

Well, If you can you should work thru a local publisher, in your case, Canada who also has licensing agreements with publishers in other countries. if you don't have a publisher that has licensing agreements in other countries you may want to find one. Good luck.

You are mostly likely going to have to charge what the host country pays. With most legal fees, there is not really any negotiation. It is what it is. You can take it or leave it. MAB

Here's the Australian PRO for such things Publishing and specifically what you asked: Mechanicals. You will want to ask them and/or register with them to collect for the mechanicals when they happen due to streaming performances there. http://apraamcos.com.au/international-affiliates/

I figured I would have to charge the rate of the country where the recording was to originate, Thank for replies.

I'm currently attempting to create a spreadsheet where service in each country collects the mechanicals. Seems HFA and MR only collects for streams in the US.
Who collects mechanicals for streams in Canada?
