Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document officially adds the Christmas Island Post Office to the list of places where customs officers can legally examine international mail.

Under customs law, officers can only open and inspect mail at specific approved locations called 'Customs places'. This instrument designates the post office at Canberra Place, Christmas Island, as one of those approved locations.

What this means:

Customs officers can now legally inspect international mail arriving at or leaving from the Christmas Island Post Office
This helps authorities detect prohibited items (such as drugs, weapons, or undeclared goods) in the postal system
The approval applies only to this specific address and does not affect other post offices or territories
