Customs broker's license suspended for violating regulations by filing shipping bill without authorization, failing to advise client on compliance, and not verifying client's identity. Broker facilitated attempted smuggling of endangered red sanders wood by filing shipping bill behind exporter's back. Violations deliberate, not innocent errors. Allowing such practices would undermine customs controls, enabling smuggling of prohibited goods. Appellate tribunal upheld suspension order, finding broker sublet license credentials and colluded in smuggling scheme.
