CUSTOMS ACT 1901 - SECT 183CJ

             (1)  Where a customs broker, within 2 months before the date on which his or her broker's licence is due to expire, applies in writing to the CEO, or to a Regional Director for a State or Territory, for the renewal of the licence:

                     (a)  if the application is made to the CEO--the CEO or the Regional Director to whom the CEO refers the application; or

                     (b)  if the application is made to a Regional Director--the CEO or that Regional Director;

shall, by writing, renew the licence unless:

                     (c)  the CEO has given an order under paragraph 183CS(1)(d) in relation to the licence; or

                     (d)  the customs broker is, because of section 183CK, not entitled to hold a broker's licence.

             (2)  A renewal of a licence shall not take effect if, on or before the date on which the licence would, apart from the renewal, expire, the licence is revoked.

             (3)  Where the licence held by a customs broker has been suspended, subsection (1) applies as if the licence had not been suspended, but the renewal of the licence does not have any force or effect until the licence ceases to be suspended.

             (4)  Where the CEO renews a licence under subsection (1), he or she may, in accordance with subsection 183CG(6), specify conditions different from those specified in the original licence.

             (5)  Subject to this Part, a licence that has been renewed continues in force until the first licence expiry day (as defined in section 183CH) after the day on which the licence would have expired apart from the renewal, but may be further renewed.
