Export of animal material and products - Registration of exporters

56: Refusal to register

You could also call this:

"When the government says no to your exporter registration"

If you want to be an exporter, you need to register. The Director-General might refuse your registration. If they do, they will tell you why they want to refuse you. They will give you a notice that explains their reasons. You will also get a copy of any information they used to make this decision.

You will have a chance to respond in writing or talk to someone about it. If the Director-General still decides not to register you, they will write to you as soon as they can. They will tell you about their decision and why they made it. They will also explain the facts they used to make this decision.

The Director-General has to follow these steps when refusing to register someone as an exporter. You will be informed about what is happening with your registration.
