Comprehensive Licence

Enforcement and Sanctions

The Department works closely with the Customs and Excise Department to check whether textile articles are exported/imported under and in accordance with a licence. Any person who contravenes the licensing requirements may be prosecuted and liable on conviction to a maximum penalty of a fine of $500,000 and imprisonment for two years. In addition, the Department may take administrative action, independent and irrespective of legal action mentioned above, against the parties to a licence.
