Precursor Control Regulations

31 (1) The Minister shall suspend a Class A import permit without prior notice if

• (a) the licence pertaining to the Class A precursor sought to be imported has expired or has been suspended or revoked;

• (b) the Minister has reasonable grounds to believe that the suspension is necessary to protect public health, safety or security;

• (b.1) the Minister has reasonable grounds to suspect that the continuation of the permit presents a risk of a Class A precursor being diverted to an illicit market or use; or

• (c) it is discovered that the import would contravene the laws of the country of export or a country of transit or transhipment.

(2) The Minister shall reinstate the Class A import permit if the reasons for the suspension no longer exist or the holder demonstrates that the suspension is unfounded.
