WEBINAR

Australian Sanctions Law

Compliance, Risk and Resilience 



A Practical Perspective for

Customs Brokers and Freight Forwarders

Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA)  in collaboration with the Australian Sanctions Office (ASO) within the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), invites members to attend a practical and informative webinar outlining Australia's sanctions framework and its direct impact on day-to-day trade and logistics activities.

Customs brokers, freight forwarders and logistics providers operate at the frontline of international trade and play a critical role in preventing sanctioned goods, services and counterparties from moving through the supply chain.

This session will provide a clear, practical overview of Australia's sanctions regime and explain how sanctions intersect with import, export, transhipment and logistics activities — including restrictions relating to goods, designated persons or entities, vessels, shipping routes, ports and end users.

The webinar is designed to help industry participants better understand sanctions obligations, identify potential risk indicators, and navigate sanctions considerations with greater confidence in operational settings.

Participants will walk away with a stronger understanding of how sanctions apply across the supply chain and the practical considerations customs brokers and freight forwarders should be mindful of when managing cargo and client activities.

The session will conclude with a live Q&A, providing an opportunity to raise questions directly with the Australian Sanctions Office.

This is an important compliance-focused webinar not to be missed.
