Export Control Act 2020

The occupier of a registered establishment (including an establishment in relation to which a suspension is in effect under Part 5) may request the Secretary to revoke the registration of the establishment.

If the occupier does not wish to revoke the registration of the establishment in relation to all kinds of export operations and all kinds of prescribed goods, the occupier may apply to vary the registration under Division 1 of Part 4.

A request under subsection (1) must:

be in writing; and

include the information (if any) prescribed by the rules.

If the Secretary receives a request from the occupier of a registered establishment under subsection (1), the Secretary must, by written notice to the occupier, revoke the registration of the establishment with effect on the day specified in the notice.

Subsection (3) does not apply if, before the request under subsection (1) was made, the Secretary:

had given the occupier of the establishment a notice under subsection 138(2) in relation to the registration; and

had not decided whether to revoke the registration or not.
