REGULATIONS.

1. These regulations may be cited as the League of Nations Sanctions (Importation of Goods) Regulations, 1935.

2. The Governor-General may from time to time, by Order in Council, prohibit the importation into New Zealand of any goods being goods the prohibition of the importation of which is in his opinion necessary in fulfilment of the obligations of the Dominion of New Zealand as a member of the League of Nations, and may by the same or any subsequent Order require the importer of any goods whatsoever to produce to the Collector of Customs at the port of importation in New Zealand such particulars as in his discretion the Governor-General may deem necessary as to—

(a) The country of origin of the goods; or

(b) The proportion of the value of the goods at the time when they left the country from which they were exported to New Zealand that is attributable to processes undergone in that country or in any other country or countries; or

(c) The payment for the goods; or

(d) Any other matter concerning the goods.

3. The powers hereinbefore conferred upon the Governor-General in Council shall extend to authorize the prohibition of the importation of goods either generally or from any specified place or person and either absolutely or so as to allow of the importation of the goods subject to any conditions or restrictions.

4. All the provisions of the Customs Acts with respect to prohibited imports (except the provisions as to monetary penalties contained in subsection (5) of section 46 of the Customs Act, 1913) shall extend and apply with respect to goods the importation of which is prohibited under these regulations.

5. If a Collector of Customs has reason to believe or suspect that any goods imported into New Zealand are goods the importation of which is prohibited under these regulations he shall detain those goods.

6. (1) The importer of any goods for which payment has not been made (being goods of a class in respect of which any restrictions on importation are in force under these regulations) shall pay the purchase-price of those goods into a special account to be kept at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the moneys in such account to be dealt with in such manner as the Minister of Finance may direct.
