Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) has received advice from the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) ) confirming the commencement of The Self-Assessed Clearances (SAC) cost recovery charge.
All SACs lodged in the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) from 1 October that subsequently arrive in Australia, will be liable for the $0.36 charge.
The entity that lodges the SAC in the ICS will be liable to pay the charge, which will be remitted to DAFF quarterly in arrears.
A notice of liability for the October-December 2024 quarter will be provided in January 2025. Businesses must rely on their own records to verify this assessment.
