A. Customs
i. Legislation
Commonwealth:
Made under Customs Act 1901 (Cth):
- Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958, amended by:
- Customs (Prohibited Exports) Amendment (COVID-19 Human Biosecurity Emergency) Regulations 2020: to implement a temporary prohibition on the export of goods that are essential to preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The prohibition applies to the exportation of goods, including face masks and hand sanitiser, as such export limits the availability of these goods for those with the greatest need in Australia. A further aim of this export prohibition is to dissuade consumers from engaging in widespread bulk purchase for the purpose of export.
Made under the Customs Tariff Act 1995 (Cth):
- Customs By-law No. 2019608: covers certain medical products and hygiene products imported as part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
ii. Case law
This is an area of substantive law that is very likely to result in case law. As of the last update, we are not aware of any relevant decision of a superior court in this area.
