(1) A vessel is a customs vessel if it is:
(a) used or for use for the purposes of Customs; and
(b) declared by AMSA by written instrument under subsection (2) to be a customs vessel.
Note: Because of section 4AA of the Customs Administration Act 1985 , Customs means the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.
(2) AMSA may make a declaration that a vessel, or vessel included in a class of vessels, is a customs vessel.
(3) A declaration made under subsection (2) is not a legislative instrument.
