TOBCSC7250 | Initial Notices: What happens at the end of the initial period?

Following the six-month initial notice period, the LB Tobacco Anti Smuggling Compliance Manager must collate and evaluate all the information and make a report recommending that either a penalty is issued, or not. In doing this they will be supported by Tobacco Policy.

The report must include the following:

• any available evidence relating to the perceived failure;

• what, if anything, the tobacco manufacturer has done about it;

• a schedule of all notified seizures made during the six-month initial notice period;

• an analysis relating to the nine factors that must be considered in determining the penalty value (section TOBCSC8000); and

• a recommendation as to what action should be taken.
