(1) This division applies if an inspector reasonably believes goods have been supplied in contravention of this Act, other than a relevant offence provision under section 87.

(2) The inspector may seize enough of the goods—

(a) to decide whether the contravention has happened; or
(b) to be used as evidence in a proceeding under this Act about the contravention.
Example of operation of paragraph (a)—
An inspector may seize a quantity of fabric to test its fibre content and to work out whether its labelling complies with the prescribed information standard about fibre content.

(3) If the goods are in a container and it is not practicable to seize them without the container, the inspector may seize the container and its contents.
