Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Portal
The FTA Portal is a user-friendly Australian Government website that provides easy access to information for exporters, importers, and other stakeholders seeking to access the benefits of Australia's free trade agreements.
Users of the FTA Portal can, for instance, search for the goods they want to export or import using keywords, find reduced free trade agreement tariff rates, and learn about origin certification requirements associated with each FTA. The Portal also includes guidance on selling services to customers in FTA partner countries, travelling overseas to supply services, and establishing an overseas presence.
Where more than one free trade agreement is available to an exporter or importer, the FTA Portal helps identify which agreement offers greater benefits.
