National Committee on Trade Facilitation

The National Committee on Trade Facilitation (NCTF) is a strategic forum that brings together government and industry stakeholders to discuss trade facilitation issues affecting Australia's international trade environment. The Committee provides a platform to explore opportunities for innovation, reform and continuous improvement across Australia's border and trade systems. The NCTF supports collaboration on measures that facilitate the efficient movement and clearance of goods, while maintaining border integrity and security. The Committee also considers emerging risks, international best practice and opportunities to modernise Australia's trade environment through policy, regulatory and technology reforms. The NCTF fulfils Australia's obligations under the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade Facilitation and serves as a key consultative mechanism between government and industry on trade facilitation matters.
