16 No authority to deal provided before the turn‑off time
If: (a) the owner of goods has entered the goods under section 71A of the unamended Customs Act; and (b) the entry was effected by computer; and (c) Customs has not, by the turn‑off time, given the person to whom the import entry advice was given in relation to the goods an authority to deal with the goods (within the meaning of section 4 of the Customs Act 1901); then, despite paragraph 71B(4)(d) of the unamended Customs Act, Customs may give that authority to the person in writing without transmitting the authority by computer.
