Guidelines
Non-compliance occurs when the customs broker fails to immediately provide the chief officer of customs with written notification of any change in the address of the business office at which he/she transacts business as a customs broker.
Prior to issuing an AMPS penalty, CBSA officers should verify the following information:
- Contact the chief officer of customs where the broker is licensed, in order to confirm if the broker immediately provided written notification of any change in his/her business address.
- Contact Brokers Licensing Unit, in Headquarters, to confirm if the broker provided written notification of any change in business address.
Apply a penalty per change of address without written notification to the chief officer of customs.
