If you are engaged in international trade, you may be able to save time and money and access a range of benefits, through the Australian Trusted Trader (ATT) Programme.
Australian Trusted Trader Programme
The ATT Programme is a regulatory framework based on partnership and shared responsibility between Australian Border Force and businesses in international trade who can demonstrate:
- supply chain security
- a history of compliant behaviour
- business sustainability.
It’s a voluntary trade facilitation initiative which provides accreditation to a trusted international supply chain.
Better your place in the global marketplace
Achieving Trusted Trader status can deliver tangible benefits.
Time efficiencies
Get access to a dedicated Border Force client service manager. Facilitation of private rulings and concessions, and mutual recognition by certain countries with similar schemes utilising existing free trade agreements.
Cost savings
Save costs by dispensing the need for certificates of origin under certain circumstances. Enjoy cash flow benefits by consolidating several shipments into one Import Declaration thereby reducing processing charges from Border Force, Quarantine and Customs Brokers.
Other benefits
Get a competitive advantage by using the trusted trader logo and be recognised as a best practice business. You’ll also get a streamlined APEC card application and become accredited for the temporary skills shortage visa sponsorship.
