orcwithout reasonable cause, fail to give an officer any other assistance or information which the officer may reasonably require of that person for the purposes of the exercise of the officer's functions under any provision of these Regulations.2A person must not, in giving any information which is required of that person by virtue of sub-paragraph (1)(c)—amake any statement which the person knows is false in a material particular; orbrecklessly make a statement which is false in a material particular.Powers of search, etc.101Officers may exercise any of the powers set out in sub-paragraph (2) at all reasonable hours provided—athe officers identify themselves and produce authority in writing from the enforcement authority for the exercise by the officers of powers conferred on the authority by these Regulations;

oriithat any offence under these Regulations has been, is being, or is about to be committed on any premises; andbeither—ithat admission to the premises has been or is likely to be refused and that notice of intention to apply for a warrant under this sub-paragraph has been given to the occupier; oriithat an application for admission, or the giving of such a notice, would defeat the object of the entry or that the premises are unoccupied or that the occupier is temporarily absent and it might defeat the object of the entry to await the occupier's return,the justice may by warrant under the justice's hand, which continues in force for a period of one month, authorise an officer to enter the premises, if need be by force.6On entering any premises by authority of a warrant granted under sub-paragraph (5), an officer must, if the occupier is present, give to the occupier or, if the occupier is temporarily absent, leave in a prominent place on the premises, or an appropriate part of the premises, a notice in writing—asummarising an officer's powers of seizure and detention of any relevant products or records under this paragraph;bexplaining that compensation may be payable for damage caused in entering premises and seizing and removing any relevant products or records and giving the address to which an application for compensation should be directed;

andcthe procedure for making such an application.10A person who is not an officer of the enforcement authority must not purport to act as such under this paragraph.11In sub-paragraph (5), the reference to “any written information on oath” is to be construed, in the application of this paragraph to—aScotland, as a reference to any evidence on oath;bNorthern Ireland, as a reference to any complaint on oath.12In this paragraph, “justice” means—ain England and Wales, a justice of the peace;bin Scotland, a sheriff or summary sheriff; andcin Northern Ireland, a lay magistrate.Powers of customs officers to detain goods111An Officer of Revenue and Customs may, for the purpose of facilitating the exercise by the enforcement authority, or duly authorised officer of the authority, of any powers conferred on the authority or officer by these Regulations seize any imported relevant products or any records, and detain them for not more than two working days.2Anything seized and detained under this paragraph must be dealt with during the period of its detention in such manner as the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may direct.3An Officer of Revenue and Customs seizing any relevant products or records under this paragraph must inform the person from whom they are seized that such relevant products or records have been seized.4In sub-paragraph (1) the reference to two working days is a reference to a period of forty-eight hours calculated from the time when the goods in question are seized, but disregarding so much of any period as falls on a Saturday or Sunday or on Christmas Day, Good Friday or a day which is a bank holiday under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 in the part of the United Kingdom where the goods are seized.Applications for the release of detained items121Any person having an interest in any relevant products or records detained for the time being under paragraph 10 may apply for an order requiring any item so detained to be released to the applicant or another person.2An application under this paragraph may be made—ato any magistrates' court in which proceedings have been brought in England and Wales or Northern Ireland for an offence in respect of a contravention of any provision of these Regulations in connection with the detained item;bwhere no such proceedings have been so brought, by way of complaint to a magistrates' court; orcin Scotland, by summary application to the sheriff.3A magistrates' court or the sheriff must not make an order under sub-paragraph (1) unless the court or sheriff is satisfied that—aproceedings have not been brought for an offence in respect of a contravention of any provision of these Regulations in connection with the detained item or, having been brought, have been concluded; andbwhere no such proceedings have been brought, more than six months have elapsed since the seizure was carried out.4Any person aggrieved by an order made under this paragraph by a magistrates' court or sheriff, or by a decision of such a court or sheriff not to make such an order, may appeal against that order or decision—ain England and Wales, to the Crown Court;bin Scotland, to the Sheriff Appeal Court as though it were an appeal under section 110(1) of the Courts Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 ; orcin Northern Ireland, to a county court.5In England and Wales or in Northern Ireland, an order so made may contain such provision as appears to the court to be appropriate for delaying the coming into force of the order pending the making and determination of any appeal (including any application under section 111 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 or Article 146 of the Magistrates' Courts (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 (statement of case)).Compensation for seizure and detention131Where an officer exercises any power under paragraph 10 to seize and detain any relevant products or records, the enforcement authority is liable to pay compensation to any person having an interest in the item seized and detained in respect of any loss or damage caused by the exercise of the power if—athere has been no contravention of any provision of these Regulations; andbthe exercise of the power is not attributable to any neglect or default by that person.2Any disputed question as to the right to, or the amount of, any compensation payable under this paragraph must be determined by arbitration—ain England and Wales or Northern Ireland, in accordance with the Arbitration Act 1996 ; orbin Scotland, in accordance with the Arbitration (Scotland) Act 2010 .Recovery of the expenses of enforcement141This paragraph applies where a court convicts a person of an offence in respect of a contravention of any provision of these Regulations in relation to any relevant products or records.2The court may (in addition to any other order it may make as to costs and expenses) order the person convicted to reimburse the enforcement authority for any expenditure which has been or may be incurred by that authority in connection with any seizure or detention by or on behalf of the authority of the relevant products or records.Power of the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs to disclose information151If they think it appropriate to do so for the purpose of facilitating the exercise by any person to whom sub-paragraph (2) applies of any functions conferred on that person by any provisions of these Regulations, the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may authorise the disclosure to that person of any information obtained for the purposes of the exercise by the Commissioners of their functions in relation to imported goods.2This sub-paragraph applies to the enforcement authority and to any officer authorised by the enforcement authority.3A disclosure of information made to any person under sub-paragraph (1) must be made in such manner as may be directed by the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs and may be made through such persons acting on behalf of that person as may be so directed.4Information may be disclosed to a person under sub-paragraph (1) whether or not the disclosure of the information has been requested by or on behalf of that person.Savings for certain privileges16Nothing in these Regulations is to be taken as requiring any person—ato produce any records if that person would be entitled to refuse to produce those records in any proceedings in any court on the grounds that they are the subject of legal professional privilege or, in Scotland, a claim of confidential communications, or as authorising any person to take possession of any records which are in the possession of a person who would be so entitled; orbto answer any question or give any information if to do so would incriminate that person or that person's spouse or civil partner.Savings for civil rights17A contract for the supply of relevant products is not void or unenforceable by reason only of a contravention of any provision of these Regulations.2003 c.39; section 98 has been amended by sections 48(1) and 106(2) of, and paragraph 55(1), (2), (3)(a) and (b) of Schedule 8 and paragraph 15 of Schedule 16 to, the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (c.15) and section 17(5) of, and paragraph 40(a) and (c) of Part 2 of Schedule 9 to, the Crime and Courts Act 2013 (c.22).
