Precursor Control Regulations

38 (1) The Minister shall suspend a Class A export permit without prior notice if

• (a) the licence pertaining to the Class A precursor sought to be exported 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;

• (c) the shipment would not be in conformity with an import authorization or letter of non-objection issued by the competent authority in the country of final destination; or

• (d) it is discovered that the export would contravene the laws of the country of final destination or a country of transit or transhipment.

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