These Regulations extend to the Customs-free Airport the Exchange Control Regulations, 1966 ( S.I. No. 11 of 1966 ).

The Exchange Control Regulations, 1966 amend the Exchange Control Regulations, 1959, by removing, in the case of Rhodesia, the general exchange control exemptions applicable to places outside the Scheduled Territories and have the effect that, in future, payments for imports of goods and services from Rhodesia will require the approval of the Central Bank, currency notes may not be exported by travellers to Rhodesia except as permitted by the Central Bank and exports to Rhodesia must be paid for in specified currency. The Regulations also appoint the Bank of Nova Scotia to be an authorised dealer for the purposes of the Exchange Control Acts and amend the list of Scheduled Territories by the inclusion by name of Singapore (previously included in Malaysia).
