Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) An authorised officer may require a person who is an exporter or producer of goods that:
(a) are exported to Korea; and
(b) are claimed to be Australian originating goods for the purpose of obtaining a preferential tariff in Korea;
to answer questions in order to verify the origin of the goods.
Note: Failing to answer a question when required to do so by an officer may be an offence: see section 243SA. However, a person does not have to answer a question if doing so would tend to incriminate the person: see section 243SC.
Disclosing answers to Korean customs official
(2) An authorised officer may, for the purpose of verifying a
claim for a preferential tariff in Korea, disclose any answers to such
questions to a Korean customs official.
