Section 153: Transire

1 In this part, "transire" means a permit for goods to pass through or across one customs control zone to another.

2 Subject to the provision of this section and except as permitted by the Board, before any consignment is moved from any customs control zone to another, the importer or his representative shall deliver to the proper officer an account of the cargo in such form and manner and containing such particulars as the Service shall direct, and that account when dated and signed by the proper officer shall be the transire, that is to say, the clearance of the consignment from that port or place and the pass for any goods to which the account relates.

3 Where the goods taken on board a means of conveyance are to be carried to different places, the applicant shall deliver a separate account relating to the goods taken on board for each such place.

4 The Service may, subject to such condition as it deems fit to impose, grant a general transire in respect of any means of transport and any goods carried in it.

5 The Board may, subject to such conditions as it sees fit to impose, grant special transire in respect of any ship exclusively engaged in fishing.

6 Any such general or special transire may be revoked by the Service by notice in writing delivered to the applicant or the owner of the ship.
