Crossword Genius

Rome trip arranged for a trader (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

importer

'a trader' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rome trip arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator.
'rome'+'trip'='rometrip'
'rometrip' is an anagram of 'IMPORTER'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for importer that I've seen before include "One bringing in goods to country" , "Foreign dealer" , "One who brings in" , "A trader in foreign goods" , "Businessperson" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
