335: Making application

You could also call this:

"How to apply for a Customs ruling"

Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

When you make an application under section 333, you must follow the rules set by the chief executive. You need to include your name and address, and if it applies, say what goods the application is about. You also need to say what you want a Customs ruling on, and what you think the ruling should be.

If you are applying under section 333(1), you usually need to send a sample of the goods with your application, unless the chief executive says you do not have to. You must send all the information that is relevant to your application and pay the prescribed fee if there is one.

The chief executive can ask you for more information at any time if they think it is needed to consider your application.
