Guidelines
Non-compliance occurs when a person fails to pay the amount of duties in respect of which a relief or remission was granted within 90 days.
Non-compliance is discovered as a result of a verification or audit.
Applied against the importer or licensee.
For errors discovered during a first verification or audit, a first level penalty will apply per verification or audit.
For errors discovered during a second verification or audit, a second level penalty will apply per verification or audit.
Third level penalty applies for errors discovered during a third or subsequent verifications or audits.
When person fails to report failure to comply with a condition, see C214. In that case both penalties will apply.
