73: Liabilities not affected by ceasing to act as licensee

You could also call this:

"Stopping being a licensee doesn't stop your responsibilities"

Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

If you have a licence for a Customs-controlled area, you still have to follow the rules even if you stop being a licensee. You can stop being a licensee if you cease to act as one, or if your licence is revoked, suspended, or surrendered. This means you are still responsible for anything you did or did not do while you had the licence, and you can find more information about this by looking at s 17.
