Industrial Chemicals Act 2019

This Act (other than Parts 1, 4, 7, 9 and 10 and Division 4 of Part 6) does not apply in relation to an excluded introduction.

An introduction of an industrial chemical is an excluded introduction if the introduction is of any of the following:

a naturally‑occurring chemical;

a non‑isolated intermediate;

an incidentally‑introduced chemical;

an industrial chemical that was released from an article that was not designed to release it;

an industrial chemical of a kind prescribed by the rules for the purposes of this paragraph.

An introduction of an industrial chemical is an excluded introduction if:

the industrial chemical is introduced at a port or airport in Australia; and

the industrial chemical remains subject to customs control under the Customs Act 1901 at all times before leaving Australia; and

the industrial chemical leaves Australia within 25 working days beginning the day the industrial chemical is introduced.

An introduction of an industrial chemical is an excluded introduction if circumstances prescribed by the rules for the purposes of this subsection apply in relation to the introduction.

An introduction of an industrial chemical by an individual is an excluded introduction if the industrial chemical is introduced solely for the individual’s personal use.

The rules may prescribe circumstances in which the introduction of an industrial chemical by an individual is taken not to be for the individual’s personal use for the purposes of subsection (5).
