CBFCA Celebrates 115 years (NNF 2019/217)

In Sydney on 30 August 1904 fourteen businessmen came together to determine ways and means for businesses to be appropriately represented in terms of customs and transport issues. At that meeting they agreed:

"A meeting of licenced custom house agents be held for the purpose of forming a Licensed Custom House Agents Association."

The Customs Agents and Transport Association of New South Wales was born. The foresight of these strategic thinkers was honed over the next hundred years through the Customs Agents Federation of Australia, the Customs Agents Institute of Australia, the Customs Brokers Council of Australia Inc. and then into the Customs Brokers & Forwarders Council of Australia Inc. (CBFCA).

The CBFCA and its predecessor associations have been guided efficiently and effectively by its members for over one hundred and fifteen years. We will continue to achieve appropriate levels of representation for this dynamic industry sector over the next one hundred and fifteen years.

Thanks to all the members, students, sponsors, key industry stakeholders and staff for the ongoing commitment and support.
