To protect Australian exporters from unfair practices, the law allows industry associations to become \"designated outwards secondary shipper bodies.\"\n\n**What this means:**\n*   The Association can negotiate shipping rates and service terms on behalf of farmers and exporters of fruit, vegetables, flowers, and nursery products\n*   It has formal legal standing to represent these exporters in disputes with international shipping lines\n*   It can enter into binding agreements about overseas cargo shipping on behalf of its members\n\nThe instrument replaces all previous declarations about this association, ensuring only the current version applies."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-4","history":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-4/history","analysis":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-4/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-4/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-4/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-4/documents"}}
