9‑8 Assessments of prescribed plants or plant products
(1) An assessment of prescribed plants or plant products must be carried out at an establishment that is registered to carry out export operations in relation to the plants or plant products.
Note: An assessment of non‑prescribed plants or plant products may be carried out at any establishment.
(2) However, subsection (1) does not prevent a reassessment of timber logs that are intended to be transported in or on a bulk vessel being carried out at a wharf that is not a registered establishment.
Note: If plants or plant products are intended to be transported in or on a bulk vessel, a bulk vessel approval, covering the cargo spaces of the vessel into or onto which it is intended to load the plants or plant products, must be in force for the bulk vessel, and not suspended, when the plants or plant products are loaded into or onto the vessel (see item 3 of the table in subsection 2‑4(1)).
