Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

The chief executive can license an area as a Customs-approved area for storing exports, or CASE, if you use it to store goods for export. You can store goods until they are transported to the place of shipment or shipped. The area can be licensed as a CASE even if you use it for other things, like consolidating, packing, or treating the goods. You can find more information about this by looking at the Customs and Excise Act 1986 for comparison.
