Article 5 Customs powers to demand evidence of destination which goods reach

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Any exporter or any shipper of goods which have been exported from the United Kingdom shall, if so required by the Commissioners, furnish within such time as they may allow proof to their satisfaction that the goods have reached either—

(i)

a destination to which they were authorised to be exported by a licence granted for the purposes of this Order, or

(ii)

a destination to which their exportation was not prohibited by this Order;

and, if he fails to do so, he shall be liable to a customs penalty not exceeding two thousand pounds unless he proves that he did not consent to or connive at the goods reaching any destination other than such a destination as aforesaid.
