Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

If you have a licence for a Customs-controlled area, a Customs officer can ask you to show them goods that are listed in your records as being in that area. You have to produce these goods if a Customs officer asks you to. This rule is similar to one in the 1986 legislation.
