Declaration of Designated Inwards Secondary Shipper Body Pursuant to Subsection 10.03(2B) of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (No. 1 of 2001) - South Australian Shipping User Group

This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.

This declaration officially recognizes the South Australian Shipping User Group as the representative body for businesses importing goods by sea into South Australia.

Under the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Part X), certain groups could gain formal status as "designated secondary shipper bodies." This designation allows the group to participate in discussions and negotiations with international shipping companies regarding freight rates and services on behalf of local importers.

Key points:

"Inwards" shipping refers to cargo coming into Australia (imports)
The group can formally represent South Australian businesses that receive goods via container ships
This gives them standing to be consulted on shipping agreements and service changes affecting the state

In practical terms, it is an accreditation that authorizes the user group to act as the official voice for importers when dealing with shipping lines under the competition law framework.
