Answer options: ✅ Seizure of the excess product and assessment of duties and taxes owed.
- A verbal warning for a first offense.

Correct answer: Seizure of the excess product and assessment of duties and taxes owed.

It's generally not a criminal offense for minor overages, nor does it typically lead to refusal of entry for a Canadian resident.
