DHL Global Forwarding obtains full accreditation under Australian Trusted Trader Programme 28 September 2017

DHL Global Forwarding (Australia) Pty Limited (DHL) has been granted full accreditation by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) under the Australian Trusted Trader Programme, with the signing of a formal agreement on September 5th, 2017.

DHL has been involved with the government programme since the initial pilot commenced in 2015 and is the largest service provider to be granted entry into the scheme.

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 further supports and facilitates the handling of clients' international supply chains by service providers.

Within Australia’s Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) programme, Trusted Traders work to secure the international supply chain, while facilitating the movement of legitimate trade. Australia is the only AEO programme to grant accreditation to service providers as the Australian Government recognises the important role played by these companies.
