PART VI
(8) The Secretary of State's authority may be
given, and any terms or conditions may be attached
to it, either generally by means of a notice in the
London Gazette or by an instrument in writing
issued to each person authorised to do, in relation
to apparatus of any class or description to which an
order under this section relates, anything for the
time being restricted by the order ; and any such
notice published in the London Gazette shall also
be published in the Edinburgh Gazette and the Belfast Gazette.
(9) The Secretary of State shall not make any
order under this section or give any authority for
the purposes of this section or attach any term or
condition to any such authority, unless the Secretary
of State is satisfied that the order, authority, term or
condition in question is compatible with the international obligations of the United Kingdom ; and
where any statutory instrument containing such an
order or any notice or instrument in writing giving
such an authority or attaching any term or condition
to such an authority contains a statement that the
Secretary of State is so satisfied, that statement shall
be evidence (and, in Scotland, sufficient evidence) of
that fact.
(10) Where the importation of apparatus of any
class or description to which this section applies is
for the time being restricted by an order under this
section, a person commissioned by the Commissioners of Customs and Excise may require any
person having custody or control of any apparatus
of that class or description which is being or has
been imported to furnish proof that the importation
of the apparatus is or was not unlawful by virtue of
this section ; and if such proof is not furnished to the
satisfaction of those Commissioners the apparatus
shall be deemed, unless the contrary is proved, to be
prohibited goods, and shall be liable to forfeiture
under the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 c. 2.
