Export market intelligence is collected and shared
Action 5.2A
The Government will develop and maintain the Non-Tariff Barrier Gateway website for exporters to report international barriers to exporting.
recommendation/s
Government and industry should work together to consolidate a comprehensive and prioritised list of international barriers to services exports for actioning, including formal market access barriers as well as ‘behind-the-border’ process, procedural, regulatory and cultural barriers.
Develop a user-friendly mechanism to encourage exporters to keep the industry-government developed comprehensive and prioritised list of international barriers to services exports accurate and current.
Progress to date
The Government is continuing to work with Industry to implement the Non-Tariff Barriers Action Plan, including maintaining a web portal for businesses to report NTBs impacting their exports overseas.
This includes advocating to remove unjustified barriers identified as high priority for Australian industry and to remove barriers to diversifying Australian exports into new markets. The Government is now more coordinated across agencies in acting to address NTBs and is working to embed the tools and practices developed under the NTB Action Plan.
