Biosecurity Act 1993

Importation of risk goods - Information sharing for joint border management

41GAA: Application of sections 41G to 41I

You could also call this:

"Rules for sharing border information start after temporary arrangements end"

When you look at the law about sharing information at the border, some rules apply. These rules are in sections 41G to 41I of the Biosecurity Act 1993, and they only apply to information about the border from a certain date. This date is when the temporary arrangements for sharing information end, which is stated in section 282I(1) of the Customs and Excise Act 1996.

The temporary arrangements for sharing information are set out in some sections of the Customs and Excise Act 1996, such as sections 282E to 282H, and in some sections of the Biosecurity Act 1993, such as sections 41B to 41E. When the temporary arrangements end, some other sections of the Biosecurity Act 1993, such as sections 41B to 41F, will no longer be part of the law.

On the date the temporary arrangements end, as stated in section 282I(1) of the Customs and Excise Act 1996, the rules in sections 41G to 41I will start to apply to information about the border.
