Unrestricted Inspector Access to Business Records
Inspectors may enter business premises "at all reasonable times" and access all books, records, and documents without warrant requirements, advance notice, or confidentiality protections. This creates significant operational uncertainty for courier and logistics businesses, as inspectors could access commercially sensitive information including pricing strategies, customer lists, and operational methodologies during unannounced visits. The absence of procedural safeguards—no appeal mechanism, no limitation on inspection frequency, no protection for competitive intelligence—increases compliance costs and regulatory risk, particularly for smaller operators lacking dedicated compliance infrastructure.
