I think there's an important point, which I was going to reiterate.

It's not just the fine. With a summary conviction, jail time of up to one year is provided for. For an indictable offence, jail time of up to 10 years is provided for at the judge's discretion. Those are fairly significant penalties associated with a violation of the Export and Import Permits Act.
