Bolloré Logistics Australia has been certified

Bolloré Logistics Australia has become the first international transport and logistics company in the country to be officially accredited as an Australian Trusted Trader under the Australian Economic Operator (AEO) program developed by the Australian Border Force (ABF).

Obtaining the Trusted Trader accreditation is the result of extensive audit processing which satisfies the AEO that Bolloré sets and maintains the highest level of international supply chain and customs compliance.

"Being certified an Australian Trusted Trader further supports and facilitates the handling of clients' international supply and expedites the flow of legitimate trade from all sites in Australia," says Michael Pinnock, national customs manager at Bolloré Logistics Australia.

This certification is applicable to all five sites in Australia: Brisbane, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

Bolloré Logistics Australia will have complete access to the program benefits when they are introduced in full in the 2017/18 financial year. Benefits will include reduced cargo inspections at the border, improved cargo lead time, duty deferral, streamlined reporting and priority trade services.
