(2) An application for approval under paragraph (1) may be made to the Welsh Ministers by an importer or other person responsible for those premises in such form and containing such information as the Welsh Ministers may specify.
(3) An approval may be granted subject to conditions, including conditions relating to the storage of the relevant material and may be withdrawn at any time if the Welsh Ministers no longer consider that the premises to which the approval relates are suitable for the purpose for which the approval was given.
(4) The Welsh Ministers may only approve premises as an approved place of inspection in respect of notifiable relevant material, other than EU transit material, if the premises have been designated or approved by the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs for that purpose.
(5) In the case of any other premises, the Welsh Ministers may only approve those premises as an approved place of inspection for the purpose of carrying out appropriate checks in respect of EU transit material.
