CPTPP outreach strategy

Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership: Outreach

DFAT and Austrade are undertaking proactive advocacy to lift awareness and uptake of the CPTPP by Australian business.

DFAT's Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership web pages

DFAT's Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership webpages offer a range of practical resources that will help Australian importers and exporters to take advantage of the Agreement:

  • The full text of the CPTPP, plus side letters and tariff schedules
  • Outcomes documents, background documents and chapter summaries that provide plain-English descriptions relating to elements of the CPTPP, including the suspended provisions
  • A guide for businesses and individuals wanting to use the CPTPP to export and import goods
  • Information on for businesses and individuals about CPTPP Certificates of Origin
  • A News section that provides updates on the First CPTPP Commission Meeting held in Tokyo on 19 January 2019. The Commission is the decision-making body of the CPTPP, which was established when the CPTPP entered into force.
  • A document addressing exporter and importer frequently asked questions

Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Portal

The FTA Portal is a user-friendly Australian Government website that provides easy access to information for exporters, importers, and other stakeholders seeking to access the benefits of Australia's free trade agreements.

Users of the FTA Portal can, for instance, search for the goods they want to export or import using keywords, find reduced free trade agreement tariff rates, and learn about origin certification requirements associated with each FTA. The Portal also includes guidance on selling services to customers in FTA partner countries, travelling overseas to supply services, and establishing an overseas presence.

Where more than one free trade agreement is available to an exporter or importer, the FTA Portal helps identify which agreement offers greater benefits.
