Applications taken to be lodged in certain circumstances
269J Applications taken to be lodged in certain circumstances
If the Comptroller‑General of Customs decides that it is desirable to consider making a TCO despite the absence of a TCO application, the Comptroller‑General of Customs may declare, in writing, that he or she has so decided.
A declaration under subsection (1) must include a proposal for the issue of the TCO in respect of the goods referred to in the declaration.
If the Comptroller‑General of Customs makes a declaration under this section, this Part has effect as if:
the proposal contained in the declaration were a TCO application lodged under section 269F on the day on which the declaration is made; and
the application had been accepted under section 269H as a valid application on that day.
