REGULATION UNDER THE CUSTOMS ACT 1901-1936.*

WHEREAS by section 112 of the Customs Act 1901-1936 it is provided that the Governor-General may, by regulation, prohibit the exportation of any goods the exportation of which would, in his opinion, be harmful to the Commonwealth;

And whereas it is provided by the said section that the said power of prohibition shall extend to authorize the prohibition of the exportation of the goods generally, or to any specified place, and either absolutely or so as to allow of the exportation of the goods subject to any condition or restriction:

Now therefore I, the Governor-General in and over the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, hereby make the following Regulation under the Customs Act 1901-1936.

Dated this Fourteenth day of February, 1940

Governor-General.
