Regulations by Governor in Council for preventing fraud.
6. The importation of goods exempt from duty under this Act and all matters relating thereto, shall be subject to such regulations as the Governor in Council may make for the purpose of preventing fraud or abuse under pretext of such exemption, nor shall such exemption prevent the forfeiture of such goods for any breach of the Customs Laws, or of any regulations lawfully made under them.
