Infringement Notices

Infringement Notices or instant fines will be introduced on 1 April 2019.


From 1 April 2019 Customs officers can issue instant fines.

The fine is $400 for an individual and $800 for a company.

Fines or Infringement Notices replace the petty offences regime (which ceased 1 October 2018). They allow a proportionate response to minor offending and are more cost and time effective to administer.

View the infringements and who they apply to.   

See our brochure (PDF 644 KB) for details on Infringement Notices, your rights, and how to pay.
