Regulation 4 provides that there is no liability to penalty where a person has a reasonable excuse.

Regulation 6 provides for the issue of a demand notice and that the amount of penalty so demanded may be recovered as customs duty.
Regulation 7 imposes a time bar of 3 years on the issue of a demand notice, or 2 years from the time when sufficient evidence came to the knowledge of the Commissioners.
