The rationale for the proposed amendments is to strengthen the administration of exports of scrap metal to achieve public policy objectives.
ITAC has published a notice requesting members of the public and interested parties to comment on a range of proposals in this regard.
One of the proposals related to the possible designation of one port to enable the concentration of resources to enable effective compliance. ITAC will need to take into account all relevant factors, including the additional costs on parties and weigh these against the likely benefits. A public call for comments assists ITAC to take all views into account.
