STATUTORY RULE 1989 NO 136
Issued by the authority of the Minister for Resources
EXPORT INSPECTION (QUANTITY CHARGE) ACT 1985
EXPORT INSPECTION (QUANTITY CHARGE) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
Section 10 of the Export Inspection (Quantity Charge) Act 1985 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, prescribing matters required or permitted by the Act to be prescribed or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the Act.
The Export Inspection (Quantity Charge) Regulations (the principal Regulations) prescribe charges on prescribed commodities in respect of which an export permit is granted.
The Export Inspection (Quantity Charge) Regulations (Amendment) (the amending Regulations) set revised charges for two commodities items listed in the Schedule to the principal Regulations. The revised charges for those commodity items are listed adjacent to those items (set out below) which are numbered as in the Schedule of the principal Regulations.
| 23. | Grain that is shipped for export in a container system unit, being grain exported under a forward contract | from $1.46 to $2.95 per tonne. |
| 24. | Grain that is shipped for export in a container system unit, not being grain exported under a forward contract | from $1.46 to $2.95 per tonne. |
The amending Regulations also amend the principal Regulations by removing from regulation 4 paragraphs (a) (fruit other than - (i) dried tree fruit (other than prunes); (ii) dried vine fruit; or (iii) fresh fruit), (b) (fruit juice), (c) (fruit products); (e) (vegetables (oher than fresh vegetables)), (f) (vegetables juice), and (g) (vegetable products). Hence paragraph 4(aa) will be renumbered 4(a) and paragraph 4(d) will be renumbered 4(b). Regulation 4 of the principal Regulations lists those classes of prescribed commodity which are exempt from charge under the Act.
The amending Regulations came into operation on 1 July 1989.
