Part 3: Sale and delivery of knives Section 39: Delivery of bladed products to persons under 18
This section makes provision in relation to a new offence for delivery companies related to delivery of bladed products following remote sales by UK based sellers.
	The section provides that where a sale is carried out remotely by a UK based seller, and a delivery company has entered into arrangements with the seller to deliver bladed products, the delivery company commits an offence if they deliver those products to a person aged under 18 (subsection (1) and (6)). A bladed product is an article which is or has a blade and is capable of causing serious injury to a person by cutting of the skin (section 41).
	Subsection (1) sets out the conditions for this offence to apply. These include that the sale must be remote, the delivery company must have entered into arrangements with the UK based seller before the sale and must have been aware that the arrangement covered the delivery of a bladed product (subsection (1)(a) to (e)).
	Subsection (7) specifies the penalties for this offence. A person guilty of an offence is liable on summary conviction in England and Wales, to a fine and on summary conviction in Scotland or Northern Ireland, to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.
	This section is subject to the defences provided for in section 40.
	This section forms part of the law of the United Kingdom.
