Forfeiture of goods

(1) Where any goods are imported, exported, carried or otherwise dealt with contrary to the provisions of this Act, they shall be forfeited, and, subject to sub-section (2), the master of any ship or the driver of any vehicle or the captain of any aircraft goods. 44 in which they are so imported, exported, carried or otherwise dealt with commits an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years, or to both such fine and term of imprisonment, except where any higher penalty is specially imposed. (2) At the trial of the master of the ship, or the driver of the vehicle, or the captain of the aircraft for an offence under sub- section (1), it shall be necessary for the prosecution to prove that such master, driver or captain knew or believed that the goods were being imported, exported, carried or otherwise dealt with contrary to the provisions of this Act, or that he failed to take reasonable precautions to ensure that the goods were not so imported, exported, carried or otherwise dealt with.
