Part 4: Medical Devices Chapter 3: Enforcement Section 37: Offence of obstructing an officer of Revenue and Customs
Subsection (1) provides that it is an offence to obstruct a customs officer (as described above in section 36) from undertaking their duties.
	Subsection (2) outlines the convictions a person may receive if guilty of an offence. These are:
As a result of a summary conviction in England and Wales, which is an offence that is only triable in a magistrates court, and is often summarised without the need for trial, a person can be imprisoned for up to 51 weeks, receive a fine, or both.
As a result of a summary conviction in Scotland or Northern Ireland, a person can be imprisoned for up to 6 months, or receive a fine not exceeding £5,000 (level 5 on the standard scale), or both. A level 5 on the standard scale references the scale of fines for summary offences as outlined in the Criminal Justice Act 1982.
	Subsection (3) outlines that the maximum 51 weeks imprisoned outlined in (2)(a) is to be read as 6 months if the offence is committed before section 281(5) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 is commenced.
