About this statute

This provision sets out Malaysia’s excise framework: the Minister sets excise duties, the Director General administers excise matters, officers have identification duties, customs rulings can be applied for and changed, and refunds/exemptions/remissions are available in defined cases. The provision lets excise authorities stop a person from leaving Malaysia until excise-related amounts are paid or secured, sets rules for recovering excise debts, and regulates excise-licensed manufacture, storage, movement, refunds, and liquor licensing. This part requires import declarations, record keeping, and cooperation with excise officers; it also restricts certain vessel movements and allows seizure, penalties, and review procedures. This provision lets excise officers arrest without warrant, sets investigation and evidence rules, protects informant confidentiality, and provides forfeiture, compounding, and penalties for false statements and unlawful disclosure. The provision creates excise-duty offences and penalties, and gives the Minister and Director General powers to make regulations and set declaration procedures for goods moved to the main customs area.
