From the 3rd December 2008 the new Customs Amendment (Enhanced Border Controls and Other Measures) bill 2008 was introduced into Federal Parliament bringing with it some reforms as legislated current practice and others which have introduced additional levels of liabilities.

We encourage members to read the attached bulletin from Hunt & Hunt Lawyers who have highlighted a number of important items contained in the new bill and we draw particular attention to those responsible for reporting and the holding of cargo whilst under customs control.
