201: Revocation and validity of permit to import

You could also call this:

"What happens if a permit to import is cancelled or no longer valid"

Illustration for Arms Bill

The chief executive can revoke a permit to import at any time. You need to know that a permit can be automatically revoked if the licence it was issued with is revoked, suspended, expired, or surrendered. If a permit is issued to a business to import items on behalf of someone, and that person's licence is revoked, suspended, expired, or surrendered, the permit is invalid for importing those items. The chief executive has the power to revoke a permit to import. If you have a permit to import and your licence is no longer valid, your permit may also be revoked. This can happen if your licence is revoked, suspended, or has expired. If a business has a permit to import items for you, and you no longer have a valid licence, the permit is no longer valid for those items. You must have a valid licence to import certain items. The permit is only valid if you have the required licence or endorsement. If a permit is issued under section 193 or 194, it can be revoked if the licence it was issued with is no longer valid. The permit can also be revoked if the person it was issued for no longer has a valid licence. In this case, the permit is invalid for importing the items it was issued for.
