Third Party Transfers

Third Country Clearances

Goods that are originally sourced from other countries or manufactured in Australia under licence cannot be transferred, sold or exported to third countries without approval of the country of origin or compliance with conditions that the original supplying country imposed on Australia at the time of acquisition. The import of foreign technology is often subject to the Australian Government giving written assurances to the exporting foreign governments that their goods and technologies will be protected. These written assurances are usually in the form of end-user certificates which state that the goods will not be disposed of without permission from the foreign government. Obtaining such approval is often a lengthy process and processing of export applications can be delayed. Therefore export schedules should be planned with this in mind.
