Unauthorised use of another Customs Broker's credentials for clearance-related activities contravenes Customs Broker licensing obligations, even where the licence-holder consents or has a mutual understanding with the acting broker. The broker actually handling the transaction must obtain the importer's authorisation in its own name, advise on import restrictions, report non-compliance, and maintain and produce transaction records. Where prohibited goods are involved, concealing the identity of the broker undertaking clearance is a substantive regulatory breach. Revocation of the licence, forfeiture of security deposit, and penalty may be proportionate despite no prior violations or an earlier suspension, because suspension does not replace final consequences for established contraventions.
