Precursor Control Regulations

46 (1) The Minister shall suspend a permit for transit or transhipment without prior notice if

• (a) there has been an expiration, suspension or revocation of

  • (i) the export permit issued by the competent authority in the country of origin, or

  • (ii) the import permit issued by the country of final destination;

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

• (c) 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.

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