 (a) if he or she is not satisfied that the application is made in accordance with the requirements of the Food Inspection Scheme—reject the application and give notice to the applicant of that rejection and of the reasons for the rejection; and
 (b) in any other case—consider the application and issue to the applicant a further imported food inspection advice in respect of the food the subject of the application.
 (7) If, under subsection (6), an authorised officer is required to inform an applicant either of the rejection of an application or to issue to the applicant a further imported food inspection advice in respect of food that is under customs control, the authorised officer must inform the person having possession of the food of the rejection of the application or of the particulars of the further advice, as the case requires.
 (8) If a further advice is issued in respect of the food the subject of an application, this Act has effect as if:
 (a) that further advice were substituted for the initial advice issued in respect of that food under subsection (1); and
 (b) subsection (3) were not included.
 (9) A failure by an authorised officer to comply with the requirements of subsection (7) in relation to an application for a further imported food inspection advice does not invalidate the rejection of that application or the issue of that further advice, as the case requires.
