The website notifies users of non-tariff measures impacting Australian exporters, namely:

Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures, which include import, inspection, certification, audit and testing requirements relating to food safety and
Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) measures, which include requirements such as labeling, registration, product composition, testing and quality assurance (beyond SPS).

Subscribing to alerts

The ECA recommends that all companies that are impacted by any of the above issues, should subscribe to ePing email alerts tailored to TBT and SPS measures relevant to their industry and markets.

“90% of our business is export based and we are expanding rapidly throughout Asia. As we move into new countries and regions it is important to understand the country, culture and business norms and ECA has helped us do this through their programs. ECA has also helped us improve our shipping and documentation efficiency, especially with the new GHS requirements. Overall, ECA is a wealth of information and knowledge and have always been very helpful when we have specific issues or questions.”
