The Australian Border Force's Regulated Goods Analysis Unit provided data on engineered stone and crystalline silica enforcement actions during the January-June 2025 period following the prohibition implementation on 1 January 2025. Internal correspondence from August-September 2025 documents the ABF's data collection and evaluation processes, with communications between the Customs Compliance, Enforcement and Targeting Division and Trade Risk & Enforcement Branch regarding stakeholder engagement and reporting requirements. An attached spreadsheet ("ABF EVALUATION - Engineered stone reporting 01JAN 30JUN 2025.xlsx") contains operational statistics on containers, consignments, and shipments inspected, stopped, detained, seized, or refused entry at Australian borders during this period. The documents are classified PROTECTED//CABINET, indicating cabinet-level consideration of the engineered stone prohibition's enforcement outcomes and policy evaluation.
