Logistics ERP for Australia

Customs management follows the Customs Act 1901, with the Australian Border Force processing import and export declarations through the Integrated Cargo System (ICS). Customs duty rates follow the Australian Customs Tariff, and free trade agreements with major trading partners (ChAFTA with China, JAEPA with Japan, KAFTA with Korea, AANZFTA with ASEAN) provide preferential rates for qualifying goods. The Trusted Trader program offers simplified customs processes for accredited businesses. Biosecurity under the Biosecurity Act 2015 imposes strict quarantine requirements on agricultural and biological imports.

The fuel tax credits scheme allows businesses that use fuel in heavy vehicles travelling on public roads to claim credits that offset the excise included in the fuel price. The credit amount varies by vehicle weight, fuel type, and road use. This is a significant cost offset for logistics companies operating large fleets.

Yukti provides Australian logistics companies with NHVR heavy vehicle compliance management, chain of responsibility documentation, and fatigue management tracking that covers all parties in the transport chain. The customs module handles ICS import and export declarations, FTA preferential rate qualification, and Trusted Trader compliance. Biosecurity documentation for agricultural imports is integrated into the clearance workflow. The fleet module manages fuel tax credit tracking by vehicle, calculating the correct credit amounts based on vehicle weight and fuel type for quarterly BAS claims. Route planning accounts for Australian-specific factors including road train access routes, restricted access vehicle permits, and the extreme distances between fuel and rest stops in remote areas. Payroll processes the Road Transport and Distribution Award with long-distance driving allowances and the specific fatigue management requirements for driver hours.
