TradeWindow receives JAS-ANZ accreditation

MEDIA RELEASE
TradeWindow Accredited to Issue Certificates of Origin to Australian
market
11 January 2023
Auckland, NZ. TradeWindow (NZX: TWL), a leading Australasian TradeTech company, has
been accredited by the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ)
Free Trade Agreement Certificate of Origin (FTA CoO) Recognition Scheme. Subject to
approval by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), TradeWindow
Origin will be authorised to issue Certificates of Origin to the Australian market.
JAS-ANZ helps markets work better by providing internationally recognised accreditation
services that create economic benefit, strengthening national, Trans-Tasman and
international trade and commerce.
TradeWindow Origin Limited (TradeWindow Origin) is TradeWindow’s 24/7 data-driven
platform for digital Certificates of Origin.
TradeWindow Origin is an Authorised Certification Body under section 435 of the Customs
and Excise Act of 2018 with designated authority to issue Certificates of Origin to New
Zealand exporters under the Agreement Establishing the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN)-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Area as well as the under the New
Zealand-China Free Trade Agreement.
Once approved by DFAT, the ability of TradeWindow Origin to issue Certificates of Origin will
be extended to include Australian exporters, which has a total addressable market (TAM) for
export documents of A$1.5 billion. TradeWindow joins an exclusive group with only a few
other issuing bodies servicing the Australian market.
The inclusion of the Certificates of Origin functionality will strengthen the value proposition
of the existing TradeWindow Cube offering in the Australian market. TradeWindow Cube
enables organisations involved in global trade to securely share mission-critical data and
collaborate with partners across the supply chain ecosystem and is designed to connect all
parties via integration into incumbent systems.
It has taken over 18 months to become an issuing body in Australia which included a
rigorous audit process to achieve the AS/NZS ISO/IEC 17020:2013. This standard certifies
competence of bodies performing inspection activities.
“This is a critical step in enhancing the service we can offer our Australian customers as we
continue to grow our presence in the market. Once approved, Australian exporters using our
services will be able to generate digital Certificates of Origin in a timely manner, meaning
that they can get on with what they do best, and move product to market at speed”, says AJ
Smith, TradeWindow CEO.
