Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Self-service cargo status reports now available on the Biosecurity Portal

Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) has received advice from the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) in relation to the release of Biosecurity Cargo Status Tracker reporting  via the Biosecurity Portal to all persons under an approved arrangement class 19.

The interactive online reports provide details of all entries in progress that have been referred to the department for biosecurity assessment or management under an approved arrangement class 19.

The report includes the following:

• Cargo status: search an Entry ID to see a summary and detailed view of that entry's status
• Brokerage overview: view all in-progress entries that have been referred to the department

Some of the potential benefits include:

• Up-to-date visibility: track in-progress consignments, reducing the need to call DAFF for updates.
• Self-service functionality: quickly print final or inspection directions through the Biosecurity Portal, avoiding long hold times during peak periods.
• Consolidated status view: access a clear overview of directions applied to an entry.
• Document clarity: easily identify assessed documentation and its status.
• Customisable reporting: view all in-progress consignments by various filters, enhancing operational visibility.
