Regulation 13GI of the Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958
Introduced by Customs (Prohibited Exports) Amendment (COVID-19 Human Biosecurity Emergency) Regulations 2020 - Administrative mechanism
-
This is a temporary measure covering non-commercial exports of personal protective equipment and sanitisers essential to combatting the COVID-19 pandemic. The measure seeks to prevent individuals and criminal syndicates from hoarding, price gouging and profiteering on non commercial exports from Australia.
Legitimate commercial and humanitarian exports are exempt, as are care packages to family overseas, although products cannot be sent through the mail.
This is a temporary measure in place from 30 March and during the human biosecurity emergency period; that is, while the Biosecurity (Human Biosecurity Emergency) (Coronavirus with Pandemic Potential) Declaration 2020 is in force (currently due to end 17 December 2020). - Responsible entities
