Attention Mr. Ron Duffy
January 20, 2003
Dear Mr. Duffy:
Subject: Ascertained Forfeiture Number I-CA-1205 - Appeal Number
CS-11087
This refers to the above-mentioned ascertained forfeiture issued by
Customs officials at Winnipeg, Manitoba, pursuant to section 124 of the
Customs Act, on September 25, 199, in relation to an exportation of
barley. Your correspondence in the matter was accepted as a request,
under section 129 of the Customs Act, that the Minister review the matter
and render a decision in respect of the civil enforcement action.
The provisions of the Customs Act require that the decision of the
Minister be made as soon as is reasonably possible. Given the
unusual and significant passage of time since the enforcement action took
place, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency has decided to vacate this
civil action and it will not proceed with the review of the matter.
That is, the enforcement action is not being pursued and the respective
demand for payment is being withdrawn.
It is important to note that he above decision does not affect or
change the current export requirements. More specifically, current
regulations require that a report in writing to Customs and presentation
of an export licence to Customs be made prior to exporting wheat and/or
barley from Canada. Customs will continue to take enforcement action
where the regulations are not met. should you have any questions in
respect of Customs requirements respecting such exports, please contact
Ms. Janyce Clark, Manager, Customs Client Services in Calgary, Alberta at
1-403-202-4121.
I wish to thank you for patience and understanding in this matter.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the
adjudicator, Don Pestaluky, at (613) 941-6156.
Yours truly,
N. Fabiano
