list means the list established by section 4.
personal baggage means personal baggage (including personal effects) of a person departing from Australia that is not intended to be used for any commercial purpose, including sale, lease, hire or exchange.
The list in Schedule 1 is established for the purposes of subsection 303DB(1) of the EPBC Act.
This is a list of native specimens that are exempt from export control under the EPBC Act (see Part 13A of that Act).
The list includes only specimens that are, or are derived from, Australian native animals and plants.
The list does not include live mammals, birds, reptiles or amphibians.
Taxon/Item column
Items in the column of the list headed “Taxon / Item” may:
include the scientific names of taxa related to the items; or
include descriptions that uniquely identify fisheries the specimens from which are included on the list.
Common name and Taxon/Item columns
The column of the list headed “Common Name” is included for information only, and in particular:
if a common name specified for an item in the column of the list headed “Common name” is that of an animal or a plant—the scientific name in the column of the list headed “Taxon / Item” for that item determines if specimens of the species so named are included on the list; and
if a common name specified for an item in the column of the list headed “Common name” is that of a fishery—the description of the fishery in the column of the list headed “Taxon / Item” for that item determines if specimens from the fishery described are included on the list.
Notation column
Inclusion of a specimen in the list is subject to any conditions or restrictions included for the specimen in the column of the list headed “Notation”.
A specimen must satisfy any such conditions or restrictions in order to be exempt from export control under the EPBC Act (see Part 13A of that Act).
The structure of the list is set out in the following table:
