A Customs Broker cannot be penalised for an exporter's misdeclaration unless the record shows knowledge, collusion, or a failure of due diligence under the Licensing Regulations. Here, the Tribunal found that the broker had obtained KYC documents, the branch-in-charge stated it had no knowledge of sugar being concealed in bags declared as raw rice, and the incorrect affidavit was only a clerical error.
