Customs provisions.

4.—(1) Any officer of Customs and Excise may detain and seize any agricultural product being or attempted to be exported in contravention of an export order and for that purpose may open any packet containing or suspected by him of containing any such agricultural product and the provisions of the Customs Consolidation Act, 1876, in relation to the condemnation and disposal of goods seized under that Act shall apply to any agricultural product seized under this section in like manner as if it had been seized under that Act.

(2) The provisions, relating to the control and restriction of the export of any agricultural product, contained in an export order shall have effect as though those provisions were included in the Customs Consolidation Act, 1876, and that Act and any Act amending or extending that Act shall apply accordingly, and if any agricultural product the export of which is prohibited by such order is exported in contravention of such order or is brought to any quay or other place for the purpose of being so exported or is waterborne to be so exported, the exporter or his agent shall be liable to the same penalty as that to which a person is liable under section 186 of that Act for illegally importing prohibited goods.
