126AOD  Power to ask questions

Power to ask questions
 (1) An authorised officer may require a person who is an exporter or producer of goods that:
 (a) are exported to the territory of China; and
 (b) are claimed to be Australian originating goods for the purpose of obtaining a preferential tariff in the territory of China;
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 Chinese customs official
 (2) An authorised officer may, for the purpose of verifying a claim for a preferential tariff in the territory of China, disclose any answers to such questions to a Chinese customs official.
