Illustration for Search and Surveillance Act 2012

You will see some changes to sections 165 to 167 of the Customs and Excise Act 1996. The heading to section 165 is changed by replacing "search" with "inspection". This change also happens in other parts of the Act. You will also see changes to section 166 and section 167. The rules about who can issue a search warrant are updated in section 167. Some parts of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012 are used in these changes. The Search and Surveillance Act 2012 has rules that apply to some situations. However, some of these rules do not apply to goods that are forfeited to the Crown. These changes update the Customs and Excise Act 1996 to work with the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.
