REGULATION UNDER THE CUSTOMS ACT 1901-1936 AND THE COMMERCE (TRADE DESCRIPTIONS) ACT 1905-1933.*

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—

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 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:
