Importers
FTA delivers efficiencies for Australian importers by increasing the industry's profile and leading regulatory reform.
Key initiatives include:
- Driving differential cost recovery for Australian Trusted Trader (ATT) members to ensure fees are proportionate and risk-aligned.
- Reforming stevedore charges and Empty Container Park (ECP) fees, following recent engagement with state and federal authorities to improve transparency, consistency, and accountability.
- Advocating broader regulatory reforms, including repeal of Part X, a mandatory port fee code, and ongoing border and biosecurity improvements.

"E. E. Muir and Sons have found the ability of FTA to work with Government Regulatory Departments an asset. The advantage of being a part of an advocacy group that represents other companies like ours has been highlighted in the period we have been members. Our thanks to Paul, Sal and their whole team... we look forward to a strong and lasting relationship. "
