Export of animal material and products - Export requirements and official assurances

64: Official assurance may be withdrawn, and reissued

You could also call this:

"The government can take back and reissue a special promise called an official assurance if it's wrong or outdated."

The Director-General or another authorised person can withdraw an official assurance if they think it was given incorrectly or it is no longer true. You might have been given an assurance that is now misleading because of something that has happened since you got it. The assurance can be withdrawn if it was given wrongly or if things have changed.

If you want to get the official assurance again, you can apply to the Director-General in a way they approve, and you might have to pay a fee. The Director-General or another authorised person can then give you a new official assurance, which might be a bit different from the old one. They can make changes to the new assurance if they think it is necessary.

The Director-General can reissue the assurance as a new one, and this can happen after an application and possibly a fee payment, as outlined in the Animal Products Amendment Act 2002.
