Cbaff

CBAFF was established on July 1 1996 from an amalgamation of the NZ Society of Customs Brokers (founded 1921) and the NZ Institute of International Freight Forwarders Associations.

The merger, following deregulation the previous year, was the culmination of 18-months of discussions between the two organisations.

Inaugural president Trevor Gilbert told the first meeting that the move reflected the changes occurring within member companies’ businesses and also the maturity that each sector had achieved.
