Licensing
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service issues licences to clients to carry out a number of functions in the Import/Export Industry. These licences are for Customs Brokers, Depots and Warehouses, including Duty Free Operators. In 2003 the Licensing function was centralised in Canberra and now falls within the Trade and Compliance Division.
The Licensing section is responsible for processing and assessing all applications for Customs Broker, Depot and Warehouse licences. The area also processes applications for variations to existing licences.
