Why Clients Engage ABS
- We work directly at the overseas source, ensuring materials meet Australian biosecurity expectations before loading, not after arrival.
- We maintain consistent communication with DAFF and shipping agents to reduce risk of intervention or delay.
- Our services integrate UAV, thermal and borescope inspections — capabilities not publicly listed by peer Australian consultancies.
- ABS is independent, Australian-owned, and nationally deployable, offering continuity from offshore manufacture through onshore clearance.
