Guidelines

Non-compliance occurs when it is discovered that a licensee or operator failed to acknowledge receipt of goods in the manner prescribed in the Customs Bonded Warehouses Regulations.

Non-compliance also occurs when the warehouse operator refuses to accept responsibility by endorsing bill of lading, waybill or similar document presented by the carrier, and refuses to complete a B3 (type 10, 13 or type 30) to account for the shipment inventory.

Applied against the customs bonded warehouse licensee or operator.

Apply a penalty per instance of failing to acknowledge receipt of goods or refusal.
