18. Appeal from decision of licensed free trade zone operator or Director-General

Where it is provided in this Act that the decision on any matter rests with a licensed FTZ operator or the Director‑General, any person aggrieved by the decision may appeal to the Minister.

Unless otherwise expressly provided, an appeal against the decision of a licensed FTZ operator or the Director-General does not affect the operation of the decision appealed against or prevent the taking of action to implement the decision, and unless otherwise directed by the Minister, the decision appealed against must be complied with until the determination of the appeal.
