(5 & 6 Geo. 5.) CHAPTER 31.
An Act to amend the enactments relating to Customs during the present War.
[16th March 1915]
Be it enacted by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
1 Provision with respect to shipment as stores of prohibited or restricted goods.
(1) Where any goods are prohibited either to be exported or carried coastwise, or any goods are prohibited to be exported to any named country or place, it shall not be lawful for any person to ship as stores on any vessel any of the goods to which the prohibition extends, except such quantity of any of those goods as may be allowed to be so shipped by the proper officer of Customs and Excise as being reasonably required to be shipped at the port of departure for use on board the vessel during the voyage on which it is about to depart.
(2) If any person ships as stores any goods, or brings any goods to any quay or other place with intent to ship the same as stores, in contravention of this section, the goods shall be forfeited and he shall for each offence be liable to a penalty of one hundred pounds.
2 Pre-entry of ship's stores.
2. The power of the Commissioners of Customs and Excise under section one hundred and thirty-nine of the Customs Consolidation Act, 1876, by order to require due entry and clearance before shipment shall apply to goods intended for shipment as stores on any ship being goods subject to any prohibition or restriction outwards, as it applies to goods intended for exportation or carriage coastwise.
3 Provision as to coasting ships departing without clearance.
3. Where the master of any coasting ship has rendered himself liable to a penalty under section six of the Customs and Inland Revenue Act, 1878, by departing without due clearance of his ship, the Commissioners of Customs and Excise may, for the purpose of enforcing the said penalty, require the deposit in the hands of the collector of Customs and Excise at any port where the ship is found of such sum not exceeding one hundred pounds as they think fit and in default of payment of the sum so required to be deposited the ship may be detained.
