EXPLOSIVES ACT 1875 - SECT 43



43. Notwithstanding anything in this Act, Her Majesty from time to time, by
Order in Council, may prohibit, either absolutely, or except in pursuance of a
license of the Secretary of State under this Act, or may subject to conditions
or restrictions the manufacture, keeping, importation from any place out of
the United Kingdom, conveyance, and sale, or any of them, of any explosive
which is of so dangerous a character that, in the judgment of Her Majesty, it
is expedient for the public safety to make such order:

Provided that such order shall not absolutely prohibit anything which may be
lawfully done in pursuance of any continuing certificate under this Act.

Any explosive manufactured or kept in contravention of any such order shall be
deemed to be manufactured or kept, as the case may be, in an unauthorised
place.

Any explosive conveyed in contravention of any such order shall be deemed to
be conveyed in contravention of a byelaw made under this Act with respect to
the conveyance of explosives.

If any explosive is imported or sold in contravention of any such order

(1)All or any part of such explosive may be forfeited; and

(2)The owner or master of the ship in which it was imported shall be liable to
a penalty not exceeding [three hundred pounds]; and

(3)The person to whom it was delivered and the person selling the same shall
be liable to a penalty not exceeding [three hundred pounds].

The Commissioners of Customs and their officers shall have the same power with
respect to any such explosive, and the ship containing the same, as they have
for the time being with respect to any article prohibited to be imported by
the law relating to [customs or excise], and the ship containing the same, and
the enactments for the time being in force relating to [customs or excise] and
any such article or ship shall apply accordingly.

Provision in favour of makers, &c. of blasting cartridges.
