Regulation 23A Export Declarations by Conduct: Human Organs etc. needed for transplantF1

A person may make an export declaration by the conduct described in paragraph (2) in respect of human blood, blood products, organs, for grafting, implanting (transplant) or transfusion (“the goods”).

The conduct referred to in paragraph (1) is where the person allows the goods to be exported from the United Kingdom by loading or allowing the goods to be loaded on any means of transport.

But such a declaration is to be treated as withdrawn if the goods are not exported from the United Kingdom within 48 hours of being loaded on the means of transport.

Where this regulation applies there is no requirement to make the goods available for examination except where an HMRC officer requires that the goods are made available for examination.
