These Regulations amend the procedure for making report of a ship arriving at a port, either from overseas or carrying goods brought in the ship from overseas and not yet cleared.
The principal change is that report is to be made in one stage as opposed to two. It is to be made immediately if the ship is boarded by a Customs officer and he requests it. Otherwise it is to be made within 3 hours of the ship reaching its place of loading or unloading, or 24 hours after the ship arrives within port limits if by then the ship has not reached a place of loading or unloading.
