CUSTOMS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (APPLICATION OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE MODERNISATION AND OTHER MEASURES) ACT 2004 - SECT 7

  (1)   To the extent that the ITM import amendments would, apart from this section, apply in relation to:

  (a)   the impending arrival, or arrival, of a ship or aircraft at its first port or airport in Australia from a place outside Australia; or

  (b)   the unloading of cargo from a ship or aircraft;

those amendments only apply in relation to a ship or aircraft, or the unloading of cargo from a ship or aircraft:

  (c)   that is due to arrive at its first port or airport in Australia at or after the import cut - over time; or

  (d)   that has arrived at its first port or airport in Australia and that was due to arrive at that port or airport at or after the import cut - over time; or

  (e)   that arrives at its first port or airport in Australia at or after the turn - off time.

  (2)   To avoid doubt, paragraphs   ( 1)(c) and (d) apply even if the ship or aircraft arrives at its first port or airport in Australia before the import cut - over time.

  (3)   To avoid doubt, the unamended Customs Act continues to apply in relation to a ship or aircraft that is due to arrive at its first port or airport in Australia before the import cut - over time, unless the ship or aircraft arrives after the turn - off time.
