If you are a licensee and you do not agree with the chief executive's decision, you can appeal to a Customs Appeal Authority within 20 working days of being told about the decision.

The chief executive's decision can be about varying, revoking or imposing terms, conditions or restrictions under section 61(c), and you have the right to appeal against this decision if you are not satisfied with it.
