• Mutual Recognition
Arrangements (MRAs) allow
recognition of Trusted Trader
status in countries where
Australia has signed
agreements.

receive trade facilitation
benefits at the border of our
MRA partners, reducing

cash flow and providing faster
access to international

Trader Identification Number (TIN)
• Recognition of Trusted Traders overseas, by
Australia’s MRA partners, will be facilitated
through the implementation of a unique global

exporters seeking to access a lighter touch in
markets where Australia has an MRA.
