Example: A person wishes to bring or import into Norfolk Island goods (the relevant goods) containing avian meat from New Zealand and honey. Avian meat from New Zealand must not be brought or imported into Norfolk Island unless it is covered by an import permit. Therefore, the relevant goods must not be brought or imported into Norfolk Island unless they are covered by an import permit. The alternative conditions specified for any quantity of honey in section 14 do not apply in relation to the relevant goods.
