Businesses importing Fake or counterfeit trademarked goods

Businesses importing Fake or counterfeit trademarked goods

If a business imports fake or counterfeit trademarked goods and if the goods enter the country via air express carriers, general air cargo or sea freight – whether or not the goods are under or over $1000 AUD, a declaration (a communicated statement) is required to be made to the ABF). As the trademark owner has 1) a registered trademark with IP Australia and 2) a Notice of Objection (NoO) filed with the ABF, the ABF should be seizing the goods at the air express carriers depot, the air cargo terminal or at the sea freight depot.

Licensed Customs brokers Need to maintain CPD across 3 platforms

Licensed Customs brokers Need to maintain CPD across 3 platforms

As my fellow customs brokers would know, since 01 April 2016 we have been required to earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points. The reporting year commences on 01 April and runs through to 31 March. The Australian Border Force (ABF) requires all customs brokers to possess a minimum of 30 points. If I am honest, the most painful and tedious part of maintaining CPD is the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) content.
