Dear Customers,

Now that we are in the home stretch to the end of the season, the department has had a few emails asking about these dates.

The DAWE would like to remind importers that the measures apply to goods shipped from 1 September 2020 that arrive in Australian territory by 31 May 2021 (inclusive).

Goods shipped between 1 September 2020 and 30 April 2021 need to be treated and may be referred for intervention if they arrive by 31 May 2021 (inclusive).

Goods with a shipped on board date of 1 May 2021 onwards arriving by 31 May 2021 may be subject to inspection.

Any goods arriving from 1 June 2021 onwards will be deemed as out of scope and not subject to the measures.

We would like to remind all customers that all break bulk is subject to mandatory offshore treatment prior to arrival into Australia.
