IDXChannel - Businesses in Australia and Indonesia are set to benefit from a simplified customs process after the two countries signed an Authorised Economic Operator Mutual Recognition Arrangement (AEO MRA).
Australian Border Force (ABF) Commissioner, Michael Outram, and the Indonesian Director General of Customs and Excise (DGCE), Askolani, signed the arrangement at the 23rd Customs-to-Customs Talks in Canberra on Wednesday (7/8/2024).
Commissioner Outram said Australia's 11th MRA will mean Australian Trusted Traders (ATT) gain faster, more efficient, and more secure access to one of the world's fastest growing economies.
"Indonesia is a vitally important partner for Australia, and it is my honour to host today's Customs-to-Customs Talks and to sign the arrangement," Commissioner Outram said in a media release.
"It is important we continue to strengthen cooperation and information sharing between our countries on enforcement and trade facilitation matters," he said.
