Penalty ceiling increase in customs law raises maximum monetary sanction for breaches after statutory substitution of lower cap.

An amendment substitutes a higher monetary ceiling for the penalty in section 117 of the Customs Act by replacing the previously specified lower amount with a higher fixed amount, thereby raising the statutory maximum sanction for contraventions governed by section 117 without changing the provision's procedural or substantive scope beyond the substituted monetary threshold.
