146H  Approval has effect as an import approval
  If a person holds a transitional import approval that is in force in respect of one or more road vehicles:
 (a) the person is taken to be the holder of an import approval within the meaning of paragraph 22(2)(c) of the Act; and
 (b) that import approval is taken to be in force; and
 (c) each such road vehicle is taken to be specified in that import approval.

            Note 1: A person commits an offence if the person imports a road vehicle into Australia where they were not permitted to do so at the time of the importation (see subsection 22(1) of the Act). However, under paragraph 22(2)(c) of the Act, a person is permitted to import a road vehicle if, at the time of the importation, the person holds an import approval, the approval is in force, and the road vehicle is specified in the approval.

            Note 2: A transitional import approval does not permit a road vehicle to be provided for the first time in Australia for the purposes of section 24 of the Act.
