Biosecurity Act 1993

Importation of risk goods - Clearance of risk goods

27A: Post-clearance conditions on clearances

You could also call this:

"Rules to follow after biosecurity clearance is given"

When an inspector gives a biosecurity clearance under section 26, they can add conditions to the clearance. You must follow these conditions when you have goods that have been cleared. The inspector can only add conditions that have been approved by a chief technical officer.

The chief technical officer must make sure the conditions are consistent with the import health standard. The conditions can say what you can use the goods for and any restrictions on using them. They can also say how long the restrictions last and how you must manage or dispose of the goods.

The conditions can specify where you must keep the goods and if you need to tell someone if something changes. You might need to report to an inspector about certain things. The conditions are there to manage the risks associated with the goods.
