Overview
Statutory Rules 1964, No. 141 is a regulation made under the Customs Act 1901-1963. Enacted by the Governor-General in Council, this legislative instrument amends the Customs Regulations by removing Item 11 from Regulation 109, which pertains to the standards for essences, condensations, and similar items. This amendment reflects a refinement in the regulatory framework governing the importation and classification of goods, aiming to streamline customs procedures and ensure the efficient administration of trade. The policy objective behind these amendments is to facilitate smoother trade processes while maintaining the integrity of the customs regime. The regulation was notified in the Commonwealth Gazette on 10th November 1964, marking its formal implementation as part of the ongoing updates to the Customs Regulations.
Scope and Application
This statutory instrument, made under the Customs Act 1901-1963, amends the Customs Regulations to omit Item 11 from the table in Regulation 109 concerning the standard for essences, condensations, and other related substances. The regulation applies to any individual or entity involved in the importation or exportation of goods that fall under the category affected by this amendment, thereby impacting industries that rely on these substances for their operations. The scope of this legislation is national, as it pertains to the Commonwealth of Australia, influencing how customs procedures are managed across the country. While the regulation itself is specific to certain standards for goods, it does not detail any exclusions or exemptions, leaving interpretation to the relevant authorities. The Customs Regulations may also be subject to further amendments or clarifications through subordinate instruments, which would extend or restrict the application of this amendment as needed.
Key Provisions
The main operative sections of this legislation, specifically Regulation 109 of the Customs Regulations, involve an amendment to the standards for essences, condensations, and other related items. This amendment entails the removal of Item 11 from the table in Regulation 109, which likely pertains to the standards or classifications of certain goods imported into Australia. This change could affect the way such goods are regulated, assessed, or categorised under customs law.
The obligations imposed by this regulation require compliance with the updated standards set forth in the Customs Regulations. Importers, exporters, and other relevant parties must ensure that their goods adhere to the new requirements as specified in the amended Regulation 109. This includes ensuring that the goods meet the necessary standards and classifications for customs purposes, which may involve obtaining updated documentation or certifications to demonstrate compliance.
Breach of these regulations can result in various consequences, including civil or criminal penalties. The specific penalties are not detailed in the text, but they could include fines, confiscation of goods, or other enforcement actions as stipulated by the Customs Act 1901-1963. The severity of the penalties may depend on the nature and extent of the breach, as well as any mitigating or aggravating factors. Parties found in violation of the amended Regulation 109 may face legal action to enforce compliance with the new standards.
