If quarantine charges are unpaid, late payment fees can be applied, permits etc. under the Quarantine Act 1908 can be suspended or revoked, other activities under that Act can be refused, and the charges and any late payment fees can be recovered as debts due to the Commonwealth.

In addition, statutory charges can be created over goods or vessels subject to quarantine. These goods and vessels can be withheld by quarantine officers and sold, with the proceeds applied against any quarantine charges, late payment fees, or other fees under the Quarantine Act 1908, that are due and payable by the owner.
