Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: These regulations set up the administrative system for collecting export charges on primary produce under the Primary Produce Export Charges Act 1935.

Who it affects:

Exporters of eggs (in shell), fresh apples, and fresh pears who must pay charges to specific government collectors
Industry councils authorised to receive these funds: the Egg Producers Council and the Australian Apple and Pear Export Council

Key details:

Where to pay: In New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, pay the Department of Commerce's money collectors; in South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania, pay Customs collectors
What products: Only eggs in shell and fresh apples and pears are covered by these specific regulations

Why it matters: This creates the practical machinery for collecting export taxes—telling businesses exactly which government office to pay, and identifying which industry bodies are officially recognised to receive or administer these charges.
