if an importer or a manufacturer intends to supply in Singapore, or if an importer intends to import into Singapore for the importer’s own use, any goods that are regulated goods required to be registered under section 12, the importer or manufacturer must register such regulated goods for the purposes of supply or own use, or both (as the case may be), even if another importer or manufacturer has already so registered such regulated goods; and

if the firstmentioned importer or manufacturer mentioned in paragraph (a) fails to so register such regulated goods, then the regulated goods are not regarded as registered in relation to the firstmentioned importer or manufacturer, despite the registration by the second‑mentioned importer or manufacturer.”;

stating the proposed condition or modification, as the case may be; and

specifying the time within which the holder of the registration may make written representations to the Director‑General with respect to the proposed condition or modification.(2C) Where the holder of the registration makes any written representations under subsection (2B)(b), the Director‑General must consider the written representations, and the Director‑General’s decision must be given to the holder of the registration in writing.”.
