Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

The law says regulations can do several things. You might have to pay charges when Customs officers attend to things for the purposes of the Customs and Excise Act. You might also have to pay charges when Customs makes rulings under section 336(1)(c).

Regulations can decide how much you have to pay for these charges or how they are calculated. The chief executive can also decide who has to pay these charges, except when it is already prescribed under section 403(6)(b).

Charges can be fixed, based on a scale or hourly rate, or based on the actual and reasonable costs.
