Overview
Statutory Rules 1963 No. 138, enacted on 17 December 1963, amends the Exports (Dried Fruits) Regulations under the Customs Act 1901-1963 and the Commerce (Trade Descriptions) Act 1905-1950. This regulation was introduced to address administrative adjustments within the exportation of dried fruits, specifically the fees for officers' services related to these exports. The regulation was enacted by the Governor-General in and over the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council. The primary objective is to update the financial obligations for the services provided by officers overseeing the export of dried fruits, reflecting the amendment of the fee from Seventeen shillings to Eighteen shillings and sixpence.
Scope and Application
This Statutory Rule, made under the authority of the Customs Act 1901-1963 and the Commerce (Trade Descriptions) Act 1905-1950, amends the Exports (Dried Fruits) Regulations to adjust the fees for officers’ services associated with the export of dried fruits. This adjustment involves a change in the fee structure from Seventeen shillings to Eighteen shillings and sixpence. The regulation applies to entities and individuals involved in the export of dried fruits, ensuring compliance with the updated fee schedule. The reach of this regulation is national, applying across the Commonwealth of Australia. There are no stated exclusions or exemptions, and the scope of the amendment is limited to the specified alteration in fees, without extending or restricting the application of the underlying Acts through subordinate instruments.
Key Provisions
This Statutory Rule amends Regulation 32 of the Exports (Dried Fruits) Regulations under the Customs Act 1901-1963 and the Commerce (Trade Descriptions) Act 1905-1950. Specifically, it changes the fee charged for officers' services related to dried fruit exports from Seventeen shillings to Eighteen shillings and sixpence (Regulation 32(1)). This amendment reflects an update to the fee structure, ensuring that the cost associated with processing dried fruit exports aligns with current economic conditions and administrative costs.
The parties governed by this Act, primarily those involved in the export of dried fruits, are required to comply with the updated fee structure as stipulated in Regulation 32(1). This obligation ensures that the updated fees are correctly applied and paid when officers provide services related to the export of dried fruits. Such compliance is essential for maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring that the government receives appropriate compensation for the services rendered.
Failure to adhere to the amended fee structure may result in legal consequences. While the specific penalties are not detailed within the text, breaches of regulations under the Customs Act and the Commerce (Trade Descriptions) Act can generally lead to fines and other civil or criminal penalties. The precise penalties would be determined based on the severity of the breach and in accordance with the respective Acts. This serves as a deterrent to non-compliance and ensures that the regulatory framework is upheld effectively.
