Key points
Cost recovery implementation statements provide information on how the department implements cost recovery in export arrangements. Implementation of cost recovery for exports is structured primarily around fee-for-service and levy charges for export permits and certification.
- Fees are charged when regulation is provided directly to an individual or organisation for the delivery of regulatory activities such as inspections of goods, audit of registered premises, or assessment of export certification.
- Cost recovery levies or charges are applied when regulation is imposed on an industry sector rather than directly to a specific individual or organisation. These charges recover the costs of maintaining regulatory infrastructure and integrity through program management and administration, assurance and incident management activities.
Prices in the 2025-26 CRIS will remain the same as 2024-25 prices.
