About TA Online
Welcome to TA Online, Papua New Guinea’s official platform for ICT equipment certification and import management. Managed by the National Information and Communications Technology Authority (NICTA), TA Online is designed to simplify and secure the process of facilitating trade and bringing ICT products into the PNG market while ensuring they meet our national standards and comply with regulatory requirements.
A Purpose-Built Platform
As PNG’s digital economy grows, the need for safe, reliable, and compliant ICT equipment has never been greater. TA Online supports this vision by:
- Protecting consumers from substandard products
- Strengthening national security by controlling imports
- Supporting businesses with clear, transparent pathways for product certification and importation
- Facilitating trade for seamless integration with the Government’s Single Window Portal initiative
Through this platform, we’re building a foundation of trust and accountability that supports PNG’s broader digital transformation and the entire ICT ecosystem.
What You Can Do
- Form A – Register as a Client
- Start by creating an account with your personal and business details. This step categorizes you correctly and sets the stage for all future interactions. Registration is free and unlocks the rest of the system.
- Form B – Apply for Type Approval
- Submit detailed product information, including manufacturer details, technical specs, and certifications. Once approved, you’ll receive a Product Certificate of Conformity (PDF), opening up your product for entry into PNG’s ICT market.
- Form C – Apply for Import Permits
- For local importers, this step captures all essential details for customs clearance. Form C automatically links with certified products from Form B, streamlining the process. An approved Import Permit (PDF) ensures smooth passage at PNG’s entry points.
