> Note 1: Other conditions may apply in addition to the conditions set out in the above table. For example, prescribed poultry meat products described as biodynamic may also be prescribed organic goods under the Export Control (Organic Goods) Rules 2021. The export as food of the poultry meat products would also be subject to export conditions prescribed by that instrument.
> Note 2: A person may commit an offence or be liable to a civil penalty if prescribed goods are exported in contravention of prescribed export conditions (see Division 4 of Part 1 of Chapter 2 of the Act).
> Note 3: The occupier of a registered establishment may commit an offence or be liable to a civil penalty if export operations in relation to which registration of the establishment has been suspended are carried out while the registration is suspended (see section 136 of the Act).
> Note 4: The holder of an approved arrangement may commit an offence or be liable to a civil penalty if export operations in relation to which an approved arrangement has been suspended are carried out while the arrangement is suspended (see section 177 of the Act).
> Note 5: An export permit that is suspended under subsection 231(1) of the Act remains in force while it is suspended. However, while the permit is suspended, it does not authorise the export of the goods for which it was issued (see subsection 232(2) of the Act).
