A Guide to Completing the Application for a Tradex Order Form

A Guide to completing the Application for a Tradex Order Form is available for downloading (see below).

The Guide follows the format of the Form and the numbers on the left hand side of each page refer to the corresponding question number in the form.  You should answer all questions and fill in all boxes.  If not applicable, please write "n/a" in the box provided. 

Definitions and legislative references that should be taken into consideration when answering the questions in the Form are also included, where applicable. 

The Tradex Guidelines provide more detail on the Tradex Scheme, and all applicants are required to declare that they have read and understood the Guidelines.  This document can also be accessed via the AusIndustry website. Legislation can also be obtained through www.comlaw.gov.au.

The Act imposes important obligations on holders of Tradex orders and breaches can be offences under the Act.  It is recommended that program participants seek independent advice about Tradex program requirements.  The Commonwealth bears no responsibility or liability in respect of actions taken in reliance on this Guide or on other information that it provides to program participants.

Confidentiality and disclosure

AusIndustry will use the information provided in the application form and by participants in the program for the purposes of discharging its functions under the program, and for related purposes.  These functions include determining eligibility for assistance under the program, compliance activities and evaluation.  Information received from applicants and participants may also be used by the Department in any other legitimate departmental business.

While AusIndustry will seek to protect sensitive information from disclosure to external parties, disclosure of some confidential information may occur. Confidential information may be disclosed to:

• the Auditor-General;
• Australian Customs and Border Protection Service ("Customs and Border Protection");
• a third party contractor engaged by the Department for audit-related purposes, or for the purposes of providing other advice to the Department; and
• other Commonwealth agencies for governmental, compliance and law enforcement purposes.

Confidential information may also be released if the Department is required or permitted by law to do so (for example, the Department may be required to provide information in response to a resolution of Parliament or an order of a Court), or where consent to release the information is obtained prior to its release
