Guidelines

Non-compliance occurs when importer fails to provide a Revenue Summary Form (RSF) in accepted status by the last business day of the month.

Non-compliance also occurs when importer fails to provide a breakout of the RSF in accepted status as prescribed.

To attain accepted status, the system will validate both paper and electronic RSFs for such things as:

  • totals add up correctly;
  • valid line object codes are used;
  • mandatory fields are completed (e.g. header, period start and end dates).

Normally applied by Senior Trusted Trade Officers.

Applied against the importer.
