Protected plant trade label for particular restricted plants
174 Protected plant trade label for particular restricted plants
This section applies to the holder of a protected plant harvesting licence, or a relevant person for the holder, who uses a whole restricted plant (other than the trunk, a log or any timber of sandalwood), or a part of a restricted plant, for trade under the licence.
Before the whole plant or part is used for trade, the holder or relevant person must, unless the holder or person has a reasonable excuse, attach a protected plant trade label to—
the whole plant; or
a bundle or container containing the part.
Maximum penalty—120 penalty units.
Subsection (4) applies if it is impractical or would be unreasonable for the holder or relevant person to attach a protected plant trade label to a whole restricted plant under subsection (2)(a) given the plant’s nature or condition.
Example of a plant’s nature or condition—
a plant that is too small or fragile for a person to attach a label to it
The holder or relevant person is taken to have attached the protected plant trade label to the whole plant if the holder or person attaches the label as close as is reasonably practicable to the plant.
