You could also call this:

"Changes to the Customs and Excise Act 1996: some parts are being removed and one part is being updated"

The law is changing some parts of the Customs and Excise Act 1996. You will no longer find sections 168 to 171, and 173 in this law because they are being repealed. This means they are being removed from the law, you can read the old versions of these sections on the Customs and Excise Act 1996 and section 173 pages.

Some powers to search are not included in the changes to section 172, these are the powers that Part 4 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012 applies to. The law is also changing section 172 to make it clear which searches are allowed.

You can find the updated version of section 172 on the Customs and Excise Act 1996 page.
