Australia Issues Guidance for FTA With Peru

Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade released guidance and resources to help traders benefit from the Australia-Peru free trade agreement, according to a Feb. 11 notice. The deal, which took effect Feb. 11, removes trade barriers and will allow Australian exporters of beef, sugar and dairy “historic access” to the Peruvian market, the notice said. Australia published a list of resources to help companies understand the outcomes of the deal, a guide to importing and exporting under the agreement, an online portal and a guide for doing business in Peru.
