Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

These regulations are extremely brief and serve a single purpose: they abolish (repeal) the previous Customs (Overseas Exchange) Regulations.

What this means:

Effective date: The repeal took effect on 16 December 1943.
Effect: Any rules or requirements about overseas exchange that were previously enforced by Customs under the old regulations ceased to apply.
Why: This appears to be a cleanup measure, removing regulations that were no longer needed (likely related to wartime currency controls or exchange restrictions that had expired).

There are no new rules or replacement provisions—this is purely a removal of existing regulations.
