VICTORIAN-BASED company, TCF Trading Co Pty Ltd, has been issued with a $13,320 infringement notice relating to alleged unlawful importation of COVID-19 rapid antigen tests (RATs).
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) reported that TCF had imported 70,000 units of the RATs that were not listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) at the time of importation.
In a statement released yesterday the TGA said the RATs were seized at the border "resulting in an estimated financial impact to the business of up to $1 million", at close to $14 per unit.
The regulator added that it has not granted any special exemptions to import or supply unapproved RATs into the Australian market.
