Freight

If you transport goods to and from the mainland you may be eligible to claim part of the costs through the Tasmanian Freight Equalisation Scheme.

You can also use the factsheets created by the Freight Expert Advisory Panel that provide freight and supply chain advice to small and medium businesses in Tasmania; and to identify freight aggregation and collaboration opportunities to assist businesses to reduce costs, improve efficiency and better access markets.

There are a number of free resources that may help you learn more about trade and export or stay up to date on the latest supply chain developments, including but not limited to:

• Go Global Toolkit - information, tools and support to grow your business globally
• Xenata – ocean and airfreight analytics

• IATA – the International Air Transport Association
