EXPORT CONTROL ACT 1982 - SECT 10F

             (1)  A warrant under this Division that is in force in relation to premises authorizes the executing officer or an officer assisting:

                     (a)  to enter the premises; and

                     (b)  to exercise powers of the kind set out in paragraphs 10(b) to (e) (inclusive); and

                     (c)  to search the premises and any thing on the premises for the kinds of evidential material specified in the warrant, and to seize things of those kinds found at the premises; and

                     (d)  to seize other things found at the premises in the course of the search that the executing officer or an officer assisting believes on reasonable grounds to be:

                              (i)  evidential material in relation to an offence to which the warrant relates; or

                             (ii)  evidential material in relation to another offence against this Act;

if the executing officer or an officer assisting believes on reasonable grounds that seizure of the thing is necessary to prevent its concealment, loss or destruction or its use in committing an offence against this Act.

             (2)  If the warrant states that it may be executed only during particular hours, the warrant must not be executed outside those hours.

             (3)  If things are seized under a warrant, the warrant authorizes the executing officer to make the things available to officers of other agencies if it is necessary to do so for the purpose of investigating or prosecuting an offence to which the things relate.
