- Only a Registered Responsible Supplier can permit an overseas manufacturer or supplier to use the RCM trade mark for the product that the Registered Responsible Supplier will import and sell in Australia.
- It is an offence if a Registered Responsible Supplier allows an overseas manufacturer or supplier to use the RCM trademark on a product if that Registered Responsible Supplier is not the importer of that product.
