FTA - Customs Broker Toolbox

Thursday, February 22, 2024

Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) is delighted to launch its newest service to our members being the FTA - Customs Broker Toolbox.

AN INFORMATION SOLUTION -  FTA has received overwhelming member feedback on the lack of information publicly available to complete particular statutory and commercial functions with a high level of confidence.

In response, FTA has developed the FTA - Customs Broker Toolbox as an important resource to fill the gap of information that is not adequately addressed by Australian Customs Notices (ACNs) provided by the Australian Border Force (ABF) and Import Industry Advisory Notices (IIANs) provided by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF). 

SUPPORT FOR TRADE PROFESSIONALS - the FTA - Customs Broker Toolbox is a series of notices, written by customs brokers for customs brokers, aimed at providing practical information using source intelligence, including advice from government departments and publicly available data.
