"(12) The cancellation of the allocation to a registered COMPILE user of a PIN number or PIN numbers has effect from the day the relevant notice was signed.

Unauthorised use of registered COMPILE user's PIN number

    (a) without the authority of the user to whom the number was assigned; and

    (b) before notification to Customs by the user of a possible breach of security;

"(5) If:

    (a) a contingency entry has been delivered to Customs in respect of particular goods; and
