Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

The chief executive can ask you to do certain things if you have a Customs-approved area for storing exports. You might need to provide and maintain areas, buildings, or equipment that the chief executive thinks are necessary for Customs to do their job. You might also need to store goods in a certain way and place that the chief executive considers appropriate.

If you are not happy with what the chief executive is asking you to do, you can appeal to a Customs Appeal Authority within 20 working days. You will need to tell them why you do not agree with the request.

You can charge Customs for providing them with areas, buildings, or equipment, but the charge must be reasonable, you can see more about this in the Customs and Excise Act 2018 which is similar to section 19H of the 1996 Act.
