Last updated
If you have exported therapeutic goods that are the subject of a recall in Australia:
- include export customers in the communications strategy that you provide us in Step 7 of the recall procedure
- provide the overseas recipients with a written notice as soon as practicable.
Exporters of consumer products
Within ten days of beginning a safety-related recall action of consumer products in Australia, you are required to notify:
- any overseas recipients
- the Australian Government Minister for consumer safety (about the overseas supply).
This requirement is in addition to notifying the Minister about the recall within 2 days of taking recall action in Australia and is stated in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (section 128 (4)).
