Tablet presses
- National legal basis
-
The control on the specified goods is a statutory requirement under Regulation 4G of the PI Regulations made under the Customs Act 1901. The control cannot be abolished without legislative approval.
- Administrative mechanism
-
The PI Regulations are not intended to restrict the quantity or volume of imports. A permission can specify conditions or requirements including times for compliance and the number of tablet presses allowed to be imported. The Minister or an authorised person has the power to revoke permission where the holder does not comply with a condition or requirement. The manufacture and distribution of amphetamine type stimulants is a serious problem in Australia and preventing the importation of tablet presses for use in illicit markets is an important way of reducing domestic production.
