Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Portal: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how businesses can access reduced or zero duty rates on imported goods using the official FTA portal.
The Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Portal is a resource for businesses to access preferential trade terms when bringing goods into the country.
Who it's for
This is for businesses that import goods from countries that have a signed trade agreement with Australia.
What you get
You may be eligible for reduced or zero duty rates on specific goods, which can lower your overall import costs.
What it costs you
While there is no direct cost to use the portal, you must provide the necessary documentation to prove where your goods were made.
The catch to know
To claim these lower rates, you must have a Certificate of Origin. This is a formal document that proves your goods qualify under the specific rules of the trade agreement.
How to apply
- Identify the trade agreement between Australia and the country you are importing from.
- Ensure your goods meet the specific rules of that agreement.
- Obtain a Certificate of Origin from your supplier or the relevant authority.
- Use the information provided on the official portal to help manage your imports.
