6. | The control thresholds of controlled goods for the purposes of transfers shall be as follows: |
(a) | All quantities of the toxic chemicals and precursors listed in Annexure A, whether in substantially pure form or in a mixture with any other substance; |
(b) | All quantities of toxic chemicals and precursors listed in Annexure B. |
Note:
The toxic chemical BZ listed in Annexure B whether in substantially pure form or in a mixture with any other substance in a concentration greater than or equal to one per cent by weight;
(i) | The toxic chemicals Amiton and PFIB listed in Annexure B whether in substantially pure form or in a mixture with any other substance in a concentration greater than or equal to one per cent by weight; or |
(ii) | The precursors listed in Annexure B whether in substantially pure form or in a mixture with any other substance in a concentration greater than or equal to 30 per cent by weight; |
(c) | an aggregate of the toxic chemicals and precursors listed in Annexure C greater than or equal to 25 kilograms per calendar year, whether in substantially pure form or in a mixture with any other substance in a concentration greater than or equal to 30 per cent by weight; |
Note:
(i) | Transfers below 25 kilograms do not require a permit; however, they are subject to notification requirements to the Council within 21 calendar days of such transfer. |
(d) | an aggregate quantity of the toxic chemicals listed in Annexure D greater than or equal to 100 kilograms per calendar year, whether in substantially pure form or in a mixture with any other substance in a concentration greater than or equal to 30 per cent by weight; |
