Food imported for purpose of sale - Registration of importers

120: Registration may not be transferred

Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you are registered as an importer under the Food Act 2014, your registration is just for you. Your registration may not be transferred to any other person. Your registration may not automatically go to another person, unless that person is you, even if something happens that would normally make it change hands.
