Infringement Notices
Infringement Notices or instant fines will be introduced on 1 April 2019.
From 1 April 2019, Customs officers can issue instant fines.
The fine is $400 for an individual and $800 for a company.
Fines or Infringement Notices replace the petty offences regime (which ceased 1 October 2018). They allow a proportionate response to minor offending and are more cost and time effective to administer.
