Aspects and discussions on assembly orders, as they relate to cargo reporting, have been moved out of the Trusted Trader discussions and into the DIBP (Australian Customs) Compliance Advisory Group (CAG), which in turn reports to the National Committee on Trade Facilitation (NCTF), who are responsible for industry policy and process implementation.
As to the requirements for service providers (such as customs brokers) to become actively involved in becoming an Australian TT – on the basis of their client working on that process – it should be noted that the DIBP has advised that all service providers do not have to become a TT. So in the case where a customs broker’s client wishes to become part of the TT, the customs broker is not necessarily required to undergo an application process at the same time. The client may wish to make an application to test the business efficiency and benefits of the TT. It is, however, clear that in order to complement the position of clients who may participate in the TT, that discussions with us as your service provider need to be undertaken as early as possible.
