Abstract Note
1,464 pages.
INTRODUCTION
1. Detection and prevention of border-related offences such as smuggling, fraud or wilful non-compliance with immigration, trade and tax laws depends on the knowledge and commitment of the Canada Border Service Agency's (CBSA) workforce. They ensure the success of our enforcement program by applying their training, good judgment, skills and tools in a fair and responsible manner.
PURPOSE
2. The CBSA Enforcement Manual is intended as a support and guide for CBSA officers in the execution of their enforcement related responsibilities
3. This when complete, will entirely replace the Customs Enforcement Manual published in 1993 and all of its' subsequent amendments and bulletins.
4. The CBSA Enforcement Manual provides clearly defined boundaries through comprehensive policy statements. The manual also provides methods for achieving optimal results through logical procedural steps.
5. Where applicable, references to related sources of information are also provided.
6. The manual is divided into parts to reflect CBSA policy and procedures relating to enforcement priorities, selection, examinations, sanctions, systems and prosecutions.
PRIORITIES BASED ON RISK MANAGEMENT
7. Risk management is a systematic method of identifying, evaluating, analyzing, and controlling potential adverse events and consequences. Effective risk management decisions must reflect a balance between social and economic benefits and the costs associated with control activities.
8. Successful risk management takes four factors into account:
■ the potential existence of non-compliance;
■ the magnitude of the non-compliance;
■ the damage that non-compliance will cause; and
■ our ability to deal with the non-compliance.
