How long is the suspension for a second offense of light violation?

The correct duration of the suspension for a second offense of a light violation is one month. This is in accordance with established regulations that specify penalties for repeat offenses in customs regulations. The rationale for having a set duration is to serve as a deterrent for repeated violations while still allowing for the possibility of rehabilitation and compliance.

A one-month suspension is intended to reinforce the importance of adhering to customs regulations without being excessively punitive, thereby encouraging compliance among customs brokers and promoting integrity within the industry. This structure is designed to balance enforcement with the need for brokers to maintain their ability to operate and serve their clients after addressing the issue.

Other duration options, such as two months, three months, or one year, would be inconsistent with the guidelines that govern light violations, where the penalties for repeated offenses are typically progressive but remain manageable to allow brokers to continue their operations in a compliant manner.
