126DB Authentication of certain electronic communications
An electronic communication that is made to the Department and is required or permitted by this Act is taken to be made by a particular person, even though the person did not authorise the communication, if:
the communication meets the information technology requirements that the Comptroller‑General of Customs has determined under section 126DA have to be met to satisfy a requirement that the person’s signature be given to the Department in connection with information in the communication; and
the person did not notify the Department of a breach of security relating to those information technology requirements before the communication;
unless the person provides evidence to the contrary.
