EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1986 NO 365
CUSTOMS (PROHIBITED EXPORTS) REGULATIONS AMENDMENT
ISSUED BY AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR INDUSTRY, TECHNOLOGY AND COMMERCE
Regulation 6A of the Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations (“the Regulations”) prohibits the export of goods from Australia to North Viet-Nam without the consent of the Minister.
Effectively the export control on commercial trade with North Viet-Nam ceased in 1973. All export applications since that date have been approved following advice from the Department of Foreign Affairs.
This Statutory Rule amends the Regulations to repeal Regulation 6A.
