Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) has received the following advice from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP):
We are pleased to inform you that the 'Nominee Customs Broker Licence Applications' pack is now available online on the Department's website.
There is also a brief article published under the Industry Hub page on the website, describing the new approach and the underlying rationale. It also contains a link to the application pack's location on the website. The pack can be found through the following link:
Home > Businesses, Agents and Trade Professionals > Cargo support, trade and goods > Licensing > For customs brokers > Application process > Guidelines for completing a nominee customs broker licence application
As you are aware, this is the first of the three broker licence application processes to be presented in this new format. We trust that potential licensees will find the new material helpful in preparing their strongest applications, and that this, in turn, will facilitate the assessment process.
Work is continuing in the Corporate and Sole Trader licence application spaces, and we look forward to gaining input from your organisation regarding the related material.
