TradeWindow has partnered with the Customs Brokers and Freight Forwarders Federation of New Zealand (CBAFF) to give freight forwarders and customs brokers 24/7 digital access to Certificates of Origin, streamlining a critical part of the export documentation process.
Under the new agreement, CBAFF members will be able to apply for, approve and issue certificates within minutes for approved goods through the TradeWindow Origin platform, removing delays and simplifying compliance for exporters.
CBAFF represents customs brokers, freight forwarders and related professionals across New Zealand, advocating for efficient, secure and compliant trade processes. TradeWindow is listed on the NZX and provides digital solutions that help exporters, importers and logistics providers streamline operations and securely collaborate across global supply chains.
CBAFF chief executive Sherelle M Kennelly says the partnership reflects the federation’s commitment to supporting members in a rapidly changing trade environment.
“This partnership ensures our members have access to a trusted digital solution that provides speed, accuracy, and convenience,” she says.
“By working with TradeWindow, we’re giving members the ability to generate Certificates of Origin anytime, keeping their export operations moving efficiently around the clock.”
TradeWindow chief executive AJ Smith says the collaboration strengthens digital connectivity across the trade ecosystem and helps members compete globally.
“We’re delighted to work with CBAFF to empower New Zealand freight forwarders and customs brokers with the same level of digital capability enjoyed by major exporters,” Smith says.
“With TradeWindow Origin, CBAFF members gain the confidence that their certificates are compliant and ready to issue within minutes, helping reduce turnaround times, improving customer experience and supporting digital transformation in the industry.”
