National AMPS Statistics for 2007, 2008 and 2009

Table of Contents

 

Introduction

The following tables provide statistical information about the Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS) penalties issued in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Volumes and penalty amounts have been calculated for each six-month period in order to provide the most up-to-date numbers and may vary slightly from previously published amounts as appeals are decided.

Contravention C244 is not included since this is a systems-generated warning for Customs Self Assessment (CSA) clients. All figures, both net volumes and penalty amounts, are for all contraventions issued minus those that were cancelled. In other words, cancelled penalties are excluded in the calculation of statistics.

Data has been analyzed by client type, penalty levels, top contraventions and appeals data. All penalty amounts and values are in Canadian dollars.

All graphs are stacked area graphs. They are used to show multiple series stacked on top of each other. Series can be client types, penalty levels or contravention codes. In this way, they display totals for all series, the proportion that each series contributes to the total as well as the total net volume or penalty amount. A small pie chart is inserted into the top right hand corner of each graph and depicts the proportion of the series values for the entire time period. Specific values related to these pie charts are located in the legend.

To learn more about each contravention, including penalty structures, basis and legislation, please consult the Master Penalty Document.

AMPS Contraventions by Client Type

The following tables and charts provide a bi-annual summary of the net volume of contraventions and penalty amounts issued per client type. The statistics identify three main client types: importers, carriers and warehouse operators. In all the tables, any data captured for importers also takes into account exporters. A specific percentage figure of exporters vs. importers cannot be determined at this time. Chart 1 illustrates the percentage of all contraventions issued (net) by client type between the years 2007 and 2009. For example, importers accounted for 80.2% of all AMPS contraventions issued, carriers for 15.4% and warehouse operators for 4.4%. Corresponds to figures in Table 1.

AMPS Contraventions by Penalty Level

Table 2 provides a bi-annual summary of the net volume of contraventions and penalty amounts issued per penalty level. Percentages illustrate the portion of total volume of contraventions issued and penalty amounts (net) for each penalty level. For example, 85.7% of all contraventions issued (excluding C244 and cancelled penalties) are issued at Level 1 and only 6.5% are at Level 2. At the third level, a total of 7.7% of all contraventions are issued. However, this accounts for 34% of the total value of penalties issued since Level 3 penalties are at a higher/escalated penalty amount given that AMPS structure is graduated in most cases.

AMPS Top 10 Contraventions

Tables 4 to 9 relate to the top ten most issued AMPS contraventions from January 2007 to December 2009 for trade contraventions, border contraventions, importer/exporter contraventions, carrier contraventions and warehouse operator contraventions.

Contravention codes are listed across the top of the table and timeframes down the left side with respective net volume and net penalty amounts. For specific penalty structures for each contravention including a description, please consult the Master Penalty Document. Charts 7 to 18 correspond to the information contained in the tables and reflect the average volume or penalty amounts for each time period over the January 2007 to December 2009 timeframe.

AMPS Top 10 Trade Contraventions

Trade contraventions are AMPS penalties that are issued at post-release verification or during audits. These penalties are mostly issued to importers or owners failing to pay or repay duties as a result of required corrections or drawbacks.
