Customs Act 1901

An application for a depot licence to cover a place must be made by a person or partnership who would occupy and control the place as a depot if the licence were granted.

An application under subsection (1) 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 signed in the manner indicated in the form; and

subject to subsection (3), be accompanied by a depot 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

subject to subsection (3), be accompanied by the depot licence application charge.

If Australia Post makes an application under this section for the whole or a part of an International Mail Centre to be covered by a depot licence, it is not liable to pay the depot licence application charge under subsection (2) or (2A).
