The Customs Free Airport Act, 1947 designated Shannon as a Free Airport, following earlier agreement at the Chicago Convention on Civil Aviation. Exempting transiting passengers and goods from Customs formalities, the Act retained controls on public health, plant/ animal diseases and currency movements. While the Department of Industry & Commerce controlled the Customs Free Airport, Revenue staff were very involved in operating and controlling the new procedures. This Act, a milestone in Revenue history, heralded later developments in controls.
