South Surrey businesswoman fined US$5,000 over NEXUS violation FAST-MOVING

NEXUS program border crossing Suzanne Smith Betty Be Good Boutique customs fine

Suzanne Smith, owner of Betty Be Good Boutique, has been stripped of her NEXUS trusted-traveller privileges and issued a US$5,000 fine following a border crossing incident in September.

Smith reported that she used her NEXUS pass to cross the border to collect business and personal parcels from a U.S. post office box. While she stated she informed the initial agent of her purpose, she was later stopped at a commercial lane checkpoint upon her return. Border officials questioned whether she had declared her crossing for commercial purposes and whether she had paid the required US$22.10 single-crossing fee.

An officer accused Smith of deceiving the previous agent, leading to the seizure of her NEXUS card and the subsequent fine. Smith expressed that the experience was a cautionary tale, noting she was unaware of the specific rules regarding commercial use of the NEXUS lane.
