Guidelines

Applied against the importer.

Applied by a Senior Trusted Trader Officer.

Penalties will be issued if the CSA importer failed to maintain a minimum compliance level of 95% for the accounting of released goods in the prescribed manner or time, on a calendar year basis.

To establish the compliance level, the total number of B3s accepted by the system for each importer will be compared to the number of late accounted B3s.

Date in the Release Date field falls outside the established accounting time frame.

See C244, for the warning notice that is generated per transaction when the CSA approved importer failed to account for released goods in the prescribed manner or time.

Apply a penalty per transaction between 95% and the lower compliance level.

There may be multiple contraventions listed on the Notice of Penalty Assessment (NPA).
