They create an offence of offering to export anything which it is prohibited to export under the Regulations (regulation 16). They provide powers for enforcement, and powers for officers of Revenue and Customs (regulations 17 to 19) and create an offence of obstruction (regulation 20). Breach of the Regulations is an offence, punishable with up to two years' imprisonment. The Regulations are enforced by the Welsh Ministers or the local authority (regulation 25).
