Australian Trusted Trader is a voluntary trade facilitation initiative. It recognises businesses with a secure supply chain and compliant trade practices, rewarding accredited businesses with a range of trade facilitation benefits.
Australian Trusted Trader is an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) programme. AEOs work to secure the international supply chain, while facilitating the movement of legitimate trade.
From today, the Australian Trusted Trader (ATT) programme is open to all Australian businesses that are active in the international supply chain. Eligible businesses can now submit an expression of interest to become a Trusted Trader via the Australian Trusted Trader website.
Businesses must have an Australian Business Number, two years of trading history and be financially solvent.
The programme is free to join and businesses are not required to use a consultant to complete any part of the application process. Submit an expression of interest to reserve your place in the Trusted Trader queue, and an Australian Border Force contact officer will discuss the next steps with you.
Accredited Trusted Traders will gain access to a range of benefits, including a dedicated account manager, priority trade services, differentiated and prioritised examinations, Mutual Recognition Arrangements (upon signing), and use of the Trusted Trader logo.
