32 Transferable quota entitlement
(1) Subject to this Part, an exporter (the transferor) may transfer all or part of the exporter’s standard quota entitlement, or supplementary quota entitlement, for a quota year to another exporter (the transferee) if: (a) the quota entitlement was allocated under Part 3 or 4; and (b) no quota entitlement allocated to the transferor for the quota year has lapsed under section 29 or been forfeited under section 30; and (c) before completing the transfer, the transferor notifies the QA Unit in writing of the following: (i) the name of the transferor; (ii) the name of the transferee; (iii) the shipped weight, in kilograms, of the quota entitlement to be transferred.
Note: For conditions on the transfer of quota entitlement, see sections 33 and 34.
(2) To avoid doubt, standard quota entitlement and supplementary quota entitlement for a quota year may be transferred to a new entrant in relation to the quota year.
Note 1: A new entrant cannot transfer any quota entitlement transferred to it (see subsection 33(1)).
Note 2: See section 13 for the effect on an exporter’s eligibility to be allocated quota entitlement for a quota year if the exporter transferred quota entitlement in the preceding quota year.
