principally in the international carriage of goods, other than containers that, when exported from Australia, cease, or are intended to cease, to be the property of a natural person resident, or a body corporate incorporated, in Australia; and

     (a) in quantities exceeding what could reasonably be expected to be required by a passenger or member of the crew of a ship or aircraft for his or her own use; or

     (b) that are, to the knowledge or belief of a passenger or a member of the crew of a ship or aircraft, to be sold, or used in the course of trading, outside Australia;

are not included in the personal or household effects of that passenger or crew member.

What is an export entry?

"114. (1) An export entry is a communication to Customs of information concerning goods intended for export that is effected either by document or by computer.

  "(2) A documentary export entry must:

  (a) be made by the owner of the goods concerned; and

     (b) be communicated to Customs by sending or giving it to an officer doing duty in relation to export entries; and

  (c) be in an approved form; and

  (d) contain such information as is required by the form; and

  (e) be signed in the manner specified in the form.

  "(3) A computer export entry must:

     (a) be transmitted by a registered EXIT user as the owner, or on behalf of the owner, of the goods concerned; and

     (b) be transmitted to Customs using the EXIT computer system; and

     (c) communicate such information as is set out in an approved statement; and

     (d) be signed by transmitting the registered EXIT user's identifying code.

"(4) Despite the fact that any law of the Commonwealth, including this Act, provides that the exportation of particular goods from Australia is prohibited unless a permission (however it is described) to export those goods is produced to an officer of Customs, that obligation will be taken to have been complied with if the permission obtained in respect of those goods is adequately identified in the information communicated to Customs in an export entry relating to those goods.

"(5) Nothing in subsection (4) affects any power of an officer of Customs, under this Act, to require the production of such permission.

"(6) When, in accordance with section 119d, an export entry is taken to have been communicated to Customs, the goods to which the entry relates are taken to have been entered.
