5  Simplified outline of this instrument

      This instrument prescribes the following:
             (a) charges in relation to certain matters connected with the administration of the Biosecurity Act 2015;
             (b) exemptions from the prescribed charges.
      The prescribed charges are imposed as taxes (see the Biosecurity Charges Imposition (Customs) Act 2015).
      This instrument prescribes a charge only so far as that charge is a duty of customs within the meaning of section 55 of the Constitution. To the extent that the charge is neither a duty of customs nor a duty of excise, it is prescribed by the Biosecurity Charges Imposition (General) Regulation 2016.
