This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This instrument formally approves two Customs forms — "Nature 10" and "Nature 10 — (Continuation) Sheet" — for use when importing ships or aircraft (as vessels/planes) and for goods granted immediate customs clearance. Under the Customs Act, approved forms are required for valid import declarations; this approval ensures a standard, legally accepted format for those specific import transactions.
