All necessary operations relating to the loading, shipping, unloading, unshipping, landing, carrying, weighing, measuring, testing, opening, unpacking, repacking, bulking, sorting and marking of goods, including passengers’ baggage, whether warehoused or not, must be performed by or at the expense of the owner, importer, exporter, consignor, consignee or agent, as the case may be.

Where the presence of officers of customs is required or necessary for the proper performance of such operations as are described in subsection (1), the owner, importer, exporter, consignor, consignee or agent (as the case may be) must at his, her or its own expense provide such officers of customs with the necessary transport between the customs office and the place where those operations are to be performed.
