Customs Act 1901

Goods are not Chinese originating goods under this Division if the goods are transported through the territory of a non‑party and one or more of the following apply:

the goods undergo any operation in the territory of the non‑party (other than unloading, reloading, repacking, relabelling for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of Australia, splitting up of the goods for further transport, temporary storage or any operation that is necessary to preserve the goods in good condition);

if the goods undergo temporary storage in the territory of the non‑party—the goods remain in the territory of the non‑party for a period exceeding 12 months;

the goods do not remain under customs control at all times while the goods are in the territory of the non‑party.

Without limiting paragraph (1)(c), the regulations may make provision for the circumstances in which goods are under customs control while the goods are in the territory of a non‑party.

This section applies despite any other provision of this Division.
