Register your Trade Barriers

Red tape, unnecessary technical regulations, opaque standards and discriminatory practices hurt Australian exporters' ability to compete in global markets.The process for identifying and managing such challenges can be unclear- both domestically and internationally.

To assist exporters, the Export Council of Australia (ECA) has joined with the Department of Industry's 6 Growth Centers to create a platform where exporters can share their experienced trade barriers in a timely and unbureaucratic manner.

The Trade Barriers Register website allows you to share information on trade barrier that you experience.

So, how does it work?

It will only take you 5 minutes.
Your provided data will be analysed and evaluated internally.
You may be contacted if further information is required to clarify your case.
Your barrier will ultimately be shared with relevant industry and government bodies to take action wherever possible.

"In 2014 Vekta Automation became involved in the Export Awards and started to get a better understanding about the role of the Export Council of Australia. After attending a seminar in Perth in February 2019 the decision was instantly made and we signed up the next day. A decision we should have made 5 years earlier. For Vekta, the information, expertise and networking opportunities that the ECA provides has been valuable. It is reassuring knowing that there are experienced and knowledgeable people we can turn to when advice is needed."
