8  Unloading goods at landing place or port at which aircraft or vessel has arrived
(1) This item applies in relation to goods brought into Australian territory on an aircraft or vessel that entered Australian territory before the commencement day during a flight or voyage that commenced outside Australian territory if:
 (a) the aircraft or vessel has arrived at a landing place or port in Australian territory that was declared under the Quarantine Act to be a port at which goods of that kind or description were permitted to be landed; and
 (b) the goods are on board the aircraft or vessel that brought them into Australian territory; and
 (c) the goods are intended to be unloaded from the aircraft or vessel at that landing place or port.
Note: The goods will be subject to biosecurity control because of item 3.
(2) If the landing place or port is not a first point of entry for the goods, the Biosecurity Act applies as if the landing place or port were a first point of entry for the goods.
(3) If there is a biosecurity entry point at the landing place or port for the goods but the goods have not been brought to that biosecurity entry point, the Biosecurity Act applies as if the place where the goods have been brought were a biosecurity entry point for the goods.
Note: See section 147 of the Biosecurity Act.
