If an applicant for a permit under this section is dissatisfied with the refusal of the Board to issue to him the permit, he may appeal to the Minister whose decision shall be final and shall not be called into question in any court.

A permit issued under this section shall authorize the importation of one consignment only of one or more pesticides within a specified period.
