1. INTERPRETATION.

In this Act, unless the contrary intention appears–

“officer” means an officer of Customs; “the regulations” means any regulations made under this Act; “trade description”, in relation to any goods, means a description, statement, indication, or suggestion, direct or indirect–

(a) as to the nature, number, quantity, quality, purity, class, grade, measure, gauge, size or weight of the goods; or (b) as to the country or place in or at which the goods were made or produced; or (c) as to the manufacturer or producer of the goods or the person by whom they were selected, packed or prepared in any way for the market; or (d) as to the mode of manufacturing, producing, selecting, packing, or otherwise preparing the goods; or (e) as to the material or ingredients of which the goods are composed, or from which they are derived; or (f) as to the goods being the subject of an existing patent, privilege or copyright,

and includes–

(g) a Customs entry relating to the goods; and (h) and any mark that, according to the custom of the trade or common repute, is commonly taken to be an indication of any of the matters referred to in Paragraphs (a) to (f).

(a) it is applied to the goods themselves; or (b) it is applied to any covering, label, reel or thing used in connection with the goods; or (c) it is used in any manner likely to lead to the belief that it describes or designates the goods.

(3) A trade description that is required by the regulations to be applied to any goods shall be deemed to be applied to the goods if it is–

(a) applied to the goods themselves; or (b) used in relation to the goods in the prescribed manner.
