Confirming exporters

  "114b. (1) A person who:

     (a) proposes to communicate an export entry relating to particular goods or is likely to communicate, from time to time, export entries in relation to goods of a particular kind; and

     (b) will be unable to include in that export entry or those export entries particular information in relation to those goods because the information cannot be ascertained until after the exportation of those goods;

may apply to the Comptroller for confirming exporter status in respect of that information and those goods.

  "(2) An application under subsection (1) must:

  (a) be in writing; and

  (b) be in an approved form; and

     (c) contain such particulars as are required by the form including the reasons the information referred to in subsection (1) cannot be ascertained before exportation.

"(3) Where a person applies for confirming exporter status in respect of particular information and particular goods or goods of a particular kind, the Comptroller must:

     (a) if the Comptroller is satisfied that the information cannot be ascertained before exportation—grant the applicant that status by signing a notice stating:

         (i) that the applicant is granted that status in respect of that information and those goods; and

         (ii) that the grant is on such conditions as are specified in the notice; or

     (b) if the Comptroller is not so satisfied—refuse to grant the applicant that status by signing a notice stating that the Comptroller has refused to grant the applicant that status and setting out the reasons for the refusal.

"(4) A grant of confirming exporter status has effect from the day on which the relevant notice is signed.

"(5) Without limiting the generality of the conditions to which a grant of confirming exporter status may be subject, those conditions must be expressed to include:

     (a) a requirement that the appropriate confirming exporter status will be specified in any export entry relating to the goods in respect of which the status was granted where the confirming exporter proposes to rely on that status; and

     (b) a requirement that full details of the information in respect of which the status was granted will be provided as soon as practicable after exportation
