HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTESBased on section 1514(b) of title 7, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Agriculture (Feb. 16, 1938, ch. 30, title V, §514(b), 52 Stat. 76).
Words "upon conviction thereof" were omitted as surplusage since punishment can be imposed only after a conviction.
Minor changes were made in phraseology and translations.
AMENDMENTS1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $10,000".
