Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This law creates a tax (levy) on dried fruits to help pay for the National Residue Survey — a government program that tests food for chemical residues like pesticides.

What it does:

Imposes a levy on dried fruits (the specific amount and how it's collected are set out in a separate law, the National Residue Survey Administration Act 1992)
Defines dried fruits by pointing to the existing Dried Fruits Levy Act 1971 (so whatever counts as dried fruits under that older law counts here too)
Binds the Crown, meaning government entities in States and Territories must also pay this levy if they deal in dried fruits

Why it matters: This ensures dried fruit producers contribute to the cost of testing their products for chemical traces. This helps maintain food safety standards and keeps export markets open for Australian dried fruits.
