Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does This rule protects existing import permits for movies. If you have a government certificate allowing you to import films that was issued under the 1917 or 1918 customs rules, this provision ensures it remains valid under the 1919 rules.

Who it affects

Businesses and individuals importing cinematograph films (movies) into Australia
Anyone holding a registration certificate from the previous regulatory schemes

Why it matters Without this "saving provision," existing import certificates would automatically expire when the new regulations took effect. This ensures legitimate film importers can continue operating without interruption or the cost of reapplying for permissions they already hold.
