The Corporate Brokers Locum

We are pioneers in Sub Contracting Formal Import Declarations (FID's) for Corporate Customs Brokers. In addition, we are Corporate Members of / and embraced by the FTA / IFCBAA and IFCBA.

A new concept introduced to an aging Profession that, in times of high Volume or Leave, transfers the compliance risk from the Corporate Broker needing a Locum service to the 3DL Corporate License and their neutral nominees.

3DL has Air Tight Employment contracts, specifically written for our modern model (Thank you Mr Andrew Hudson) with a heavy emphasis on Commercial Confidentiality. Our IT systems have capabilities to record every key stroke or action a staff member makes, whilst within our environment. We also sign No approach / No work agreements with clients wanting this added security.

Our Sub-contract model replaces the old school Locum / Labour hire placement model, which means we are 100% compliant in our approach to filling industry skills shortages. The old school model, Locum / Labour hire placement has been confirmed as acting outside of S183CD requirements by the Director of Broker Licensing, meaning if you operate in this manner, you are creating yourself and your clients a business risk.

We have Australia's only searchable database of Licensed Customs Brokers. Our brokers have over 600 years of combined experience with an average of greater than 16 service years, in all commodities and in all size organizations. This means we have the qualifications, capabilities and expertise a modern business expects and should be demanding from a collaborator offering professional Border Clearance services.
