Footnote 1

A 30-day delay in the escalation of penalty levels from the first to the second will apply to this contravention. Should a second penalty with the same contravention be issued against the same client, the system will not escalate the penalty level to level two unless 30 days have transpired from when the first Notice of Penalty Assessment (NPA) was issued or the infraction occurred. The non-escalation rule applies from the first level to the second level only; it does not apply from the second to the third level.

Guidelines

Non-compliance occurs when the goods are not stored in either a safe or secure manner in the area designated on the site plan in the licensee's file.

For example, weapons or firearms are to be stored in a locked area within the warehouse.

For failure to ensure the safety and security of goods while in a customs bonded warehouse, refer to contravention C196.
