Export Control Act 2020

If the Secretary approves a proposed arrangement, the approved arrangement is subject to:

the conditions provided by this Act; and

the conditions prescribed by the rules (other than any of those conditions that the Secretary decides are not to be conditions of the approved arrangement); and

any additional conditions that the Secretary considers appropriate and that are specified in the notice given to the applicant under section 153.

The holder of an approved arrangement may commit an offence or be liable to a civil penalty if a condition of the approved arrangement is contravened (see section 184).

An approved arrangement may be suspended or revoked if a condition of the approved arrangement is contravened (see paragraphs 171(1)(d) and 179(1)(d)).

A decision to approve a proposed arrangement subject to additional conditions is a reviewable decision (see Part 2 of Chapter 11).

Part 7 sets out additional obligations of the holder of an approved arrangement.

Without limiting paragraph (1)(b), the rules may prescribe conditions in relation to any or all of the following:

the holder of an approved arrangement;

a kind of export operations;

a kind of prescribed goods;

importing country requirements relating to a kind of export operations or a kind of prescribed goods.

Without limiting paragraph (1)(b) or (c), the rules may prescribe conditions, and the Secretary may impose conditions, that are required to be complied with before or after the export of the goods to which the conditions relate.

For the purposes of this Act, conditions to which an approved arrangement is subject under subsection (1) or section 157 are conditions of the approved arrangement.
