4A  Use of information in import declarations
 (1) For the purposes of determining in this instrument whether a product was imported in a financial year, a change made to an import declaration must not be taken into account if:
 (a) the change is made after 31 October of the financial year following the financial year in which the import declaration was made; and
 (b) the change:
 (i) reduces the number of television or computer products specified in the declaration; or
 (ii) reduces the converted weight of any kind of television or computer product specified in the declaration.
 (2) However, a change described in subsection (1) may be taken into account if the Minister is satisfied that there are exceptional circumstances that justify taking the change into account, having regard to:
 (a)  the matters listed in subsection (3); and
 (b)  any other matter the Minister considers relevant.
 (3) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(a), the Minister must have regard to the following matters:
 (a) the reason for the change made to the import declaration;
 (b) the nature of the change;
 (c) the reason why the change was not made on or before 31 October of the following financial year;
 (d) whether the importer has previously made a change to an import declaration in relation to television or computer products after 31 October of the financial year following the financial year in which the import declaration was made;
 (e) whether taking the change into account would unreasonably impact other liable parties or co‑regulatory arrangements in relation to television or computer products;
 (f) whether not taking the change into account would unreasonably distort the recycling target for a financial year, or the import or manufacture share for a financial year, of an approved co‑regulatory arrangement that relates to television or computer products.
