Launch of BorderWise Single Window Tariff (AU) and offer to new FTA members

Tuesday, March 13, 2018

Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) members,
 
Supporting the FTA vision "To establish a global benchmark of efficiency in Australian border related security, compliance and logistics activities", WiseTech Global and FTA are delighted to announce a valuable member benefit in the form of BorderWise Single Window Tariff (AU).
 
As outlined in the January 2018 Goods Compliance update, the Australian Border Force (ABF) has increased its focus on complex audits. Since July last year, 48 cases have been closed resulting in demands for unpaid duties of $9.6 million. It is worth noting that apart from unpaid duties, border non-compliance can also result in infringement notices and other sanctions.
 
BorderWise Single Window Tariff (AU) sets the benchmark in bringing together a range of critical "whole of government" border compliance data, law and regulation, and advanced search functionality to help customers to effectively minimise customs duty and mitigate the risks associated with import and export non-compliance for themselves and their customers.
 
PLEASE NOTE - CargoWise One customers, who are also FTA members, will have access to BorderWise Single Window Tariff (AU) included in the CargoWise One Customs module at no cost.
 
GROWING THE ALLIANCE
 
While this is a significant member benefit, this is only the start of a much broader vision.
 
In line with the FTA "Mission, Goals & Strategy", we are undertaking an aggressive growth strategy to achieve economies of scale which are necessary to deliver ongoing cost effective member benefits and increased advocacy representation.
 
As a part of this approach we will be launching one in a series of campaigns to increase membership.  
 

New members will be provided the following until 30 June 2018: 

  • FREE FTA membership - effective immediately;

  • FREE BorderWise Single Window Tariff (AU) from 1 April 2018; and 

  • FREE access to Online CPD and CBC from 1 April 2018 


New members that continue membership beyond 1 July 2018 will continue to receive free Online CPD and CBC for the remainder of the licensing period until 31 March 2019.


We look forward to your assistance in spreading the word.
