# The Copyright (Customs) Regulations 1989, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations prescribe the forms in which an owner of the copyright in a published literary, dramatic or musical work or in a sound recording or film may give notice to the Commissioners requesting infringing copies of the work which are imported to be treated as prohibited goods. They also specify the fee to be paid and conditions to be observed by the person giving such a notice.
The Regulations revoke the Copyright (Customs) Regulations 1957 made under section 22 of the Copyright Act 1956 (c. 74) which was repealed by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
