Extension of Customs Act jurisdiction to the Exclusive Economic Zone was applied to fish exports, requiring compliance with FEMA and its regulations; consignments transferred via an intermediary did not avoid this obligation, and contravention of the priorapproval requirement for deductions under Regulation 14C was held established.
