6  Exempt regulated timber products
 (1) For the purposes of paragraphs 12(1)(d), (2)(d) and (3)(d) of the Act, the following regulated timber products are prescribed as exempt:
 (a) a regulated timber product:
 (i) that is recycled material; or
 (ii) that is entirely made from recycled material; or
 (iii) where all timber, and products derived from timber, included in the regulated timber product are recycled material;
 (b) a regulated timber product that is imported as part of a consignment if the total customs value of the regulated timber products in the consignment, on import, does not exceed $1,000.
 (2) Timber, or a product derived from timber, is recycled material if:
 (a) the timber or product has been, or has been part of, another thing; and
 (b) the timber or product has ceased to be the other thing, or has been removed from the other thing, and, at the time of the cessation or removal, the other thing was no longer used for its intended purpose.
 (3) However, timber, or a product derived from timber, is not recycled material if the timber or the product is the by‑product of a manufacturing process.
Example: Off‑cuts from sawn timber used to make particle board or medium density fibreboard.
