6 Tariff rate quota entitlement

(1) In this instrument, a person has a tariff rate quota entitlement for an eligible feed grain contract and a quota year if: (a) the Secretary has reserved an amount of tariff rate quota entitlement under section 9 for export under the contract in that quota year; and (b) the entitlement has not been revoked under section 22, 23 or 24. (2) The amount of the person’s tariff rate quota entitlement at a particular time is the reservation amount for the contract and the quota year reduced by the total weight for which tariff rate quota certificates have been issued before that time in relation to consignments for export to Indonesia under the contract in the quota year.

Note 1: The amount reserved by the Secretary does not change over time, unless it is varied under section 12. The amount of tariff rate quota entitlement for the contract and quota year will reduce over time as tariff rate quota certificates are issued for consignments of feed grain for export under the contract in the quota year.

Note 2: If a tariff rate quota certificate in relation to a consignment is revoked, the certificate is taken never to have been issued (see section 19).

(3) An amount includes a zero amount.
