Gatekeeper for Customs Users

Australian Customs

Australian Border Force uses DigiCert Gatekeeper Certificates to increase the security of the Integrated Cargo System (ICS).

A DigiCert Gatekeeper certificate lets you interact with the ICS via a Web browser or EDI software. This allows you to lodge import/export declarations and cargo reports, amend EDI messages, check cargo status, access the CMR diagnostic facility, update client registers and obtain research reports.

Visit the ABF website for more information.

Organisations with ABNs

If your organisation, department or business (including sole proprietorship) has an ABN, enter it below.

(If a Gatekeeper account exists for that ABN, we'll take you to your account page. If not, we'll invite you to setup a new account.)

Organisations without ABNs

Foreign organisations or other legal entities without an ABN.


New users: Setup a new non-ABN Organisation Gatekeeper Account.
