These Regulations add the United States of America to the definition of “prescribed overseas country” in the Consular Privileges and Immunities Act 1972, so that the Act’s rules about consular purchases and related privileges apply in relation to the U.S. (Reg 2). The prescription is treated as having applied to purchases made on or after 1 July 1987 (Reg 3). The instrument was made by the Governor‑General under the Act.
