| FTA / APSA ADOCACY TO THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL - correspondence HERE - while the Federal Government justifiably boasts about its diplomatic achievements in gaining access to Free Trade Agreements, the introduction of a Simplified Trade System and other opportunities to support Australian commerce, this counts for little by failing to take measures that guarantee that we have a reliable supply chain to facilitate import and export operations. - share your views HERE |

Courtesy of the Container Transport Alliance Australia (CTAA) - available HERE, the provided template document may assist if for any reason any worker is asked by an authorised officer, such as NSW Police, for the reason why they are not abiding by the stay-at-home order and/or are outside of the affected LGA in which they live. |

Over the past week Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) has received a number of updates on various biosecurity programs that will require the attention of importers, customs brokers, freight forwarders and their overseas agents and treatment providers.- Documentary requirements for fumigation certificates for imported goods
The Minimum documentary and import declarations requirements policy sets the requirements for documents submitted to the department for assessment of the biosecurity risk of goods imported into Australia.
This includes requirements for certification related to treatments conducted in exporting countries to mitigate potential biosecurity risks prior to shipment.
As a result of the recently updated Minimum documentary and import declaration requirements policy version 4.0, documentary requirements for fumigation certificates are changing. - Australian Biosecurity webinar series
Topic: Our shared approach to delivering Australia's future biosecurity system
