Invitation to an AFIF 'Round-Table' Discussion
 
concerning
 
Changes to Customs Broker Licence Conditions
Dear All,
 
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service have advised of their decision to make changes to the conditions relating to a Customs Brokers Licence, as per ACN 2012 /29
 
The changes fall within 2 broad categories:
  1. The Headline Act
    • Continuing Professional Development for Licensed Customs Brokers
      • Does the suggested format offer real value to Customs Brokers or the community as a whole?
      • Is it window dressing?
  2. The Sting in the Tail
    • Additional Condition (2) - Mandatory disclosure of information to the Customs and Border Protection CEO.
      • Will Customs Brokers become the meat in the sandwich?
      • At what cost to the Customs Brokerage?
    • Additional Condition (3) - Unauthorised use of Customs & Border Protection systems and information
      • How does a Customs Broker know to what purpose information provided to a client or supplier will be put?
Take this opportunity to participate in our 'round-table discussion' with our advisers from myfreightcareer and have your thoughts presented through AFIF to the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.
 
When:  Between 9 - 11am on June 26
Where: At the Bonnie Doon Golf Club, Banks Avenue, Pagewood, Sydney, NSW 2035.
