 (ii) an interim maritime labour certificate;
 (iii) a certificate of exemption under section 206XH exempting the ship from all the requirements of this Act relating to the working and living conditions of seamen on board the ship and of the master of the ship;
the master of the ship must, if so required by an officer of Customs, produce to the officer of Customs any one of those certificates.
