Controlled delivery means a delivery that occurs when a consignment of illicit drugs is
detected, usually concealed in some other goods, in circumstances making it
possible for those goods to go forward under the control and surveillance of law
enforcement officers with a view to identifying and securing evidence against the
persons responsible for organising the importation. If the final destination of the
consignment is within the frontiers of the country in which the initial detection
occurred, internal controlled delivery is possible. If the intended final destination of
the consignment is in a country other than that where the initial detection was made,
there is potential for an international or external controlled delivery. If the
circumstances of the detection and concealment are such that it is possible to
remove all or most of the illicit drugs before allowing the consignment to proceed, a
clean controlled delivery can be made.
Goods mean all kinds of moveable property including animals.
Organisational requirements refer to instructions to staff on policies, procedures, and
methodologies which are documented and are available in the workplace. They must
be consistent with applicable legislation and any other applicable compliance
requirements.
