Guidelines
Non-compliance occurs when the customs broker fails to immediately provide the chief officer of customs with written notification, of any changes in the officers or directors of the corporation.
Prior to issuing an AMPS penalty, CBSA officers should verify the following information:
- Contact the chief officer of customs where the broker is licensed, to confirm if the broker immediately provided written notification of any changes in the officers or directors of the corporation.
- Contact Brokers Licensing Unit, in Headquarters, to confirm if the required written notification of change was provided.
Apply a penalty per change in the officers or directors of the corporation.
