Compounding of foreign-exchange contraventions is barred for unquantifiable, serious, penalised, or investigation-dependent matters.

Rule 9 excludes foreign-exchange contraventions from compounding where the amount cannot be quantified, section 37A applies, or a penalty has already been imposed under section 13. Serious matters suspected of money-laundering, terror financing, or conduct affecting national sovereignty and integrity must be remitted for adjudication. Compounding is also unavailable where further investigation is required to determine the amount of contravention.
