Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

When you get a licence for a Customs-controlled area, it must have some important details. The licence must say who the licensee is, which area it covers, and what it is for, as mentioned in section 56(1). You can find more about this in the related laws, such as s 12(2), (3).

The licence might also say you have to pay a yearly fee. It can have other conditions or restrictions that the chief executive thinks are necessary. These conditions help make sure the Customs-controlled area is used correctly.
