Guidelines
Non-compliance occurs when a person, other than the licensee, an employee of the licensee or an employee of a carrier engaged in the delivery of goods to or the removal of goods from the bonded warehouse enters any place in it where goods are stored.
Non-compliance also occurs when unauthorized persons are allowed access without written authorization or the attendance of an officer.
Applied against the licensee or the warehouse operator.
Apply a penalty for each occurrence and not based on the number of persons allowed access without proper authorization.
Apply a penalty per instance (i.e. per visit to the warehouse).
For sufferance warehouse, see C049.
