NCA officers
(1) If an NCA officer is designated as a person having the powers of a general customs official, the NCA officer has, in relation to any customs matter, the same powers as a general customs official would have. (2) But that is subject to any limitation included in the designation.
Powers only exercisable in relation to customs matters
If a power of a general customs official is exercisable both— (a) in relation to a customs matter, and (b) in relation to any other matter, the power is exercisable by a designated officer only in relation to the customs matter.
Powers exercisable under warrant
(1) This paragraph applies to an enactment if it provides for the issuing of warrants which authorise a general customs official to exercise any power in relation to a customs matter. (2) For the purpose of enabling a designated officer to exercise that power in relation to a customs matter, the enactment has effect as if the designated officer were a general customs official.
