Australia: Agricultural Export Legislation

The new legislative framework will include the Export Control Bill 2019 and the Export Control Rules 2020. It will replace the existing Export Control Act 1982, the export-related provisions in the Australian Meat and Live-stock Industry Act 1997, and legislative instruments, such as orders and regulations. Key areas of improvement include 1) streamlining and consolidating, 2) compliance and enforcement, 3) incorporating related reforms, 4) certifying goods, and 5) Authorized Officers.
