This means anyone exporting pears must comply with the *Horticulture Marketing and Research and Development Services Act 2000*, which typically involves paying levies (mandatory fees) to fund industry marketing and research programs.\n\n**The 'domestic market' quirk**\nWhile the Order applies to 'all export markets', it excludes the 'Australian domestic market'. Surprisingly, this 'domestic' definition includes not just Australia, but also numerous Pacific territories and nations such as Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, and even Antarctica. These locations are treated as 'domestic' for trade purposes, so pear shipments to these places aren't subject to the export regulations and levies imposed by this Order.\n\n**Who it affects**\nPear growers and exporters sending produce to markets outside the Pacific/Antarctica region (e.g., Asia, Europe, North America)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2006b00117","history":"/api/acts/f2006b00117/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2006b00117/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2006b00117/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2006b00117/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2006b00117/documents"}}
