Food imported for purpose of sale - Removal of importer’s registration

131: Effective date of surrender

You could also call this:

"When you stop being a food importer, this change happens on a date you choose or when the boss gets your notice."

Illustration for Food Act 2014

When you surrender your registration as a food importer, it takes effect on a certain date. This date is the one you specify in the notice you give to the chief executive, which must be after the date you give the notice, as stated in section 130(1). If you do not specify a date, the surrender takes effect on the date the chief executive receives your notice.
