Trade

We facilitate international trade and investment through standards and conformance, mutual recognition and free trade agreements, and anti-dumping measures.

  • regulating trade measurement.

    We negotiate and implement free trade agreements (FTAs) and work with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to to develop, negotiate and implement Australia’s trade policy agenda.

  • Australia's standards and conformance infrastructure

    Australia’s standards and conformance infrastructure provides businesses and consumers with confidence in the goods and services they are developing or using.

  • Trade measurement

    Trade measurement laws apply to all retail and wholesale transactions where measurement determines price.
