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 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:

And whereas I am of opinion that the exportation of fresh fruit, except subject to the conditions and restrictions prescribed by the Exports (Fresh Fruit) Regulations, as amended by the following Regulation, would be harmful to the Commonwealth:

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 and the Commerce (Trade Descriptions) Act 1905-1933.

Dated this tenth day of January, 1940
