Customs Act 1901

An application for a broker’s licence may be made by document or electronically.

A documentary application must:

be in writing; and

be in an approved form; and

contain such information as the form requires; and

be accompanied by any documents required by the form; and

be accompanied by the customs broker licence application charge.

An electronic application must:

communicate such information as is set out in an approved statement; and

be accompanied by any documents required by the approved statement; and

be accompanied by the customs broker licence application charge.

Where a person makes an application, he or she must not, in the application, propose a person as his or her nominee at a place unless, at the time the application is made, that person is eligible, or intends to take all necessary action to ensure that, if a broker’s licence is granted to the applicant, he or she will be eligible, to be a nominee of the applicant at that place.

A person must not, in an application, be proposed as a nominee unless he or she has consented, in writing, to the proposal.
