Part 1A—Preliminary
Division 1—Preliminary
1 Name
This is the Defence and Strategic Goods List 1996.
2 Authority
This instrument is made under paragraph 112(2A)(aa) of the Customs Act 1901.
Division 2—Simplified outline of the Defence and Strategic Goods List
The Defence and Strategic Goods List is divided in 2 Parts.
Part 1 of the List covers defence and related goods, that is goods and technologies designed or adapted for use by armed forces or goods that are inherently lethal. These goods include:
military goods, being goods or technology that is designed or adapted for military purposes, including their parts and accessories; and
non‑military lethal goods, being equipment that is inherently lethal, incapacitating or destructive, such as non‑military firearms, non‑military ammunition and commercial explosives and initiators.
Part 2 of the List covers those goods that have a dual use. Dual‑use goods comprise equipment and technologies developed to meet commercial needs but which may be used either as military components, or for the development or production of military systems or weapons of mass destruction. This Part is made up of the following 10 categories:
Category 0 — Nuclear Materials;
Category 1 — Materials, Chemicals, Microorganisms and Toxins;
Category 2 — Materials Processing;
Category 3 — Electronics;
Category 4 — Computers;
Category 5 — Telecommunications and Information Security;
Category 6 — Sensors and Lasers;
Category 7 — Navigation and Avionics;
Category 8 — Marine;
Category 9 — Aerospace and Propulsion.
The List is amended from time to time to reflect changes in the various multilateral non‑proliferation and export control regimes of which Australia is a member.
Division 3—Interpretation
3.1 Definitions
Terms in “quotation marks” are defined terms (see Division 4—Definitions). Words and terms that are defined and that appear in the Defence and Strategic Goods List without quotation marks are intended to take their ordinary dictionary meanings.
3.2 Notes
The Notes, Technical Notes and Nota Bene (N.B.) appearing in the Defence and Strategic Goods List form an integral part of the control text.
3.3 Incorporated goods
The object of the controls contained in the Defence and Strategic Goods List should not be defeated by the export of any non‑controlled goods (including plant) containing one or more controlled components when the controlled component or components are the principal element of the goods and can feasibly be removed or used for other purposes.
Note: In judging whether the controlled component or components are to be considered the principal element, it is necessary to weigh the factors of quantity, value and technological know‑how involved and other special circumstances which might establish the controlled component or components as the principal element of the goods being procured.
3.4 New and used goods
Goods specified in the Defence and Strategic Goods List include both new and used goods.
3.5 CAS numbers
In some instances, chemicals are listed by name and CAS number. The list applies to chemicals of the same structural formula (including hydrates) regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in identifying a particular chemical or mixture, irrespective of nomenclature. CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers because:
(a) some forms of the listed chemical have different CAS numbers; and
(b) mixtures containing a listed chemical may also have different CAS numbers.
3.6 Source code
“Source code” items are controlled either by “software” or by “software” and “technology” controls, except when such “source code” items are explicitly decontrolled.
3.7 Medical equipment
Equipment specially designed for medical end‑use that incorporates an item controlled in the Dual‑Use List is not controlled.
3.8 Nuclear technology note (NTN)
Note: To be read in conjunction with section E of Category 0.
3.81 The “technology” directly associated with any goods controlled in Category 0 is controlled according to the provisions of Category 0.
3.82 “Technology” for the “development”, “production” or “use” of goods under control remains under control even when applicable to non‑controlled goods.
3.83 The approval of goods for export also authorises the export to the same end‑user of the minimum “technology” required for the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the goods.
3.84 Controls on “technology” transfer do not apply to information “in the public domain” or to “basic scientific research”.
3.9 General technology note (GTN)
Note: This note applies to all technology controls in Categories 1 to 9 of the Dual‑Use List.
3.91 The export of “technology” which is “required” for the “development”, “production” or “use” of goods controlled in Categories 1 to 9, is controlled according to the provisions of Categories 1 to 9.
3.92 “Technology” “required” for the “development”, “production” or “use” of goods under control remains under control even when applicable to non‑controlled goods.
3.93 Controls do not apply to that “technology” which is the minimum necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) and repair of those goods which are not controlled or whose export has been authorised.
Note: This does not release such “technology” specified by 1E002.e, 1E002.f, 8E002.a and 8E002.b.
3.94 Controls on “technology” transfer do not apply to information “in the public domain”, to “basic scientific research” or to the minimum necessary information for patent applications.
3.10 General software note (GSN)
Note: This note applies to all software controls in the Defence and Strategic Goods List.
3.101 The Defence and Strategic Goods List does not control “software” which is any of the following:
(1) generally available to the public by being:
(a) sold from stock at retail selling points, without restriction, by means of:
1. over the counter transactions; or
2. mail order transactions; or

3.11 General “information security” note (GISN)
3.111 "Information security" items or functions should be considered against the provisions in Category 5 Part 2, even if they are components, "software" or functions of other items.
