Customs powers to demand evidence of destination of prohibited goods21

1

The Governor may require any person who exports or ships prohibited goods that have been exported from the Territory to provide proof to the Governor’s satisfaction that the goods have reached a permitted destination.

2

For the purposes of paragraph (1), “a permitted destination” means—

a

a destination to which the exportation of prohibited goods is not prohibited by this Order, or

b

a destination to which the exportation of prohibited goods is authorised by a licence granted under this Order.

3

A person (“P”) commits an offence if P fails to comply with a requirement under paragraph (1), unless P proves that P did not consent to or connive at the goods reaching a destination other than a permitted destination.
