(b) An importer who knowingly imports taxable motor fuel in a transport truck in violation of the provisions of this article, without either a valid importer's license or supplier's license and either an import verification number or a shipping paper showing on its face that the tax on the fuel is not due shall be subject to a civil penalty of one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each occurrence, to be multiplied by the sum of the current violation plus prior violations.
