338: Notice of Customs ruling

You could also call this:

"The boss of Customs must tell you in writing what they decide about your application."

Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

When you apply for a Customs ruling, the chief executive must write to you as soon as possible. They must tell you about the Customs ruling, including why they made that decision and any conditions that apply. If they decide not to make a Customs ruling, they must write to you and explain why they made that decision. You can find more information about this by looking at the Customs and Excise Act 1986. The chief executive will give you this information in writing, so you know what is happening with your application.
