323: Registration of users of registered user systems

You could also call this:

"Signing up to use a special system with the government"

Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

The chief executive can register people to use a special system. You need to follow the rules to get registered. The government can make regulations that say what you need to do to get registered, like what qualifications or training you need. The chief executive can also decide to register you with conditions, or change or cancel those conditions.

The government can make rules about how to apply to get registered, and the chief executive can decide how you need to make that application. If you are not happy with a decision the chief executive makes about your registration, you can appeal to a Customs Appeal Authority within 20 working days. You can appeal if the chief executive refuses to register you, or makes a decision about your registration based on the regulations. You can find more information about this by looking at the Customs and Excise Act 2018 and other related laws, such as ss 132, 132A, 134A, and 135.
