Food imported for purpose of sale - Registration of importers

115: Chief executive may require further information

You could also call this:

"The boss can ask for more details when you apply to import food"

Illustration for Food Act 2014

When you apply to register as an importer, the chief executive might ask you for more information. You will need to give them this information before they decide whether or not to register you. The chief executive gets to choose what extra information they need from you to make this decision.

If the chief executive asks you for more information, you must give it to them within three months. If you do not give them the information within this time, your application will lapse, unless the chief executive gives you more time by sending you a written notice.

You can see how this rule is similar to a rule in the Food Act 1986 by looking at section 54, subsections 4 and 5.
