                (a)    drawing consignments for sampling at a rate that is not less than 5% of the total consignments certified by:

                          (i)    in relation to a recognised foreign government certificate -- an instrumentality of the foreign government under subsection 18 (1) of the Act; or

                         (ii)    in relation to a recognised quality assurance certificate -- exported by an overseas processing operation approved under subsection 19 (1) of the Act; and

               (b)    auditing the system operated by the foreign government instrumentality or the approved overseas processing operation concerned; and

                (c)    conducting documentation checks by requiring the foreign government instrumentality concerned to verify selected certificates collected upon arrival in Australia.
