Invitation from the ACBPS to an information session on the Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA)
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS) is hosting information sessions on how to access preferential tariff treatment under the Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA) .
The session will provide an overview of the rules of origin chapter of JAEPA and will complement ACBPS’ JAEPA Rules of Origin Instruction and Guidelines and the Australian Customs Notice on JAEPA Rules of Origin. The sessions will also provide information on how to identify the relevant tariff commitment and rules of origin for the goods imported.
The information sessions are accredited for licensed customs brokers as part of the continuing professional development scheme. Brokers attending will gain three points towards the Professional Brokerage Skills stream. Each session is scheduled to run for approximately two hours, from 9.30 am to 11.30 am. There will be time at the end of the presentation for questions and answers. There is no charge for the session.
