213 Grounds for revocation—overdue relevant Commonwealth liability
(1) The Secretary may revoke an export licence if:
(a) the licence is suspended under subsection 206(1) for non‑payment of a relevant Commonwealth liability; and
(ii) the person (the debtor) who is liable to pay the relevant Commonwealth liability had not entered into an arrangement with the Secretary to pay the relevant Commonwealth liability.
Note: A decision to revoke an export licence under this section is a reviewable decision (see Part 2 of Chapter 11).
(2) If the Secretary revokes an export licence under subsection (1), the Secretary may refuse to carry out, or direct a person not to carry out, specified activities or kinds of activities in relation to the debtor under this Act until the relevant Commonwealth liability has been paid.
(3) Action by the Secretary under this section does not affect the liability of the debtor to pay the relevant Commonwealth liability.
