https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=45771 Section 202 of the Sea Customs Act did not prevent customs authorities from limiting a custom house broker's licence to a fixed term and requiring renewal; the view that such a licence was permanent was rejected. After amendment, the prohibition on acting as a custom house agent arose only from the notified date under section 202(1), so until that notification was issued the petitioner could continue business and the customs direction restricting that right lacked validity.
