Now, therefore, the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, by virtue of the powers conferred on them by section 5 of the Import Duties Act 1958, and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, on the recommendation of the Board of Trade hereby make the following Order:—

1

Import duty shall not be chargeable on any goods which appear to the Commissioners of Customs and Excise to be imported for the purposes of the exercise of the said Organisation's official activities.

• (2) The Interpretation Act 1889, shall apply for the interpretation of this Order as it applies for the interpretation of an Act of Parliament.
