D4-3-7, Duty Free Shop - Contraventions and Penalties

Submitted by admin on Fri, 10/09/2015 - 13:14

This memorandum outlines the contraventions and possible enforcement actions that may result from a Duty Free Shop (DFS) licensee's failure to comply with the legislative provisions governing the operation of a DFS.

This memorandum is revised as a result of a review of the Master Penalty Document and as a result of the strategic review of the Duty Free Shop (DFS) program and minor regulatory changes being made to help reduce the administrative burden on the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and DFS licensees.

In accordance with the above, contraventions C066, C160, C163 and C164 have been added as they relate to the DFS program, contraventions C051, C056 have been deleted as they no longer apply to the DFS program, and contraventions C155 and C302 have been deleted as they have been removed from the Master Penalty document and no longer apply.

The revised memo is available on the CBSA website.
