New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) On receipt of—
(a) an application for a licence; and
(b) any information requested by the Chief Executive under section 11(2) of this Act; and
(c) any variations to the application made under section 11(3) of this Act,—
the Chief Executive may grant a licence for the area, or may refuse the application.
(2) A licence granted under subsection (1) of this section may be granted subject to—
(a) such terms, conditions, or restrictions as the Chief Executive thinks fit; and
(b) the payment by the licensee of the prescribed annual licence fee (if any).
(3) The licence shall—
(a) specify the area in respect of which it is granted; and
(b) specify the applicant as the licensee; and
(c) specify the purpose or purposes described in paragraphs (a) to (f) of section 10 of this Act for which the area is licensed.
(4) Where, on an application for an area to be licensed as a Customs controlled area, the Chief Executive is of the opinion that—
(a) it is not in the public interest; or
(b) it is impracticable or unnecessary—
that the area should be licensed as a Customs controlled area, the Chief Executive may, in his or her discretion, and under such conditions as the Chief Executive thinks fit, direct that the area need not be licensed as a Customs controlled area.
(5) A direction given under subsection (4) of this section may be given in respect of the whole or any specified part of the business carried on in the area, and shall exempt the area from such provisions of this Act as may be specified in the direction.
