Clause 212 adds a clarification to section 35 of the Customs Act that imposes an obligation on a person to comply with the terms and conditions of the deposit, bond or other security that the person has given. The terms and conditions for bonds and other securities are established in regulations currently under existing paragraph 166(1)(b) of the act.
The intent of this provision is to make clear that the person who provided the deposit, bond or security to allow the release of the goods prior to their accounting must abide by the terms and conditions that accompany those securities.
