Support for Exporters and Importers
The International Freight Assistance Mechanism (IFAM) has been extended to continue providing logistical support for Australian exporters and importers.
IFAM provides logistical and administrative support for international freight movements by aggregating cargo loads, negotiating with airlines and dealing with partner governments to facilitate clearances and improve transparency of freight costs during the pandemic.
Grants may be available to businesses whose export needs are not met by IFAM supported flights, to assist exporters in securing alternative arrangements.More information on IFAM, including how to access its services and apply for grants, is available HERE.
