HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on section 1616 of title 19, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Customs Duties (June 17, 1930, ch. 497, title IV, §616, 46 Stat. 757). Designation of the offense as a felony was omitted as unnecessary in view of definitive section 1 of this title. (See reviser's note under section 550 of this title.) Words "and upon conviction thereof" were also omitted as unnecessary, since punishment could not be imposed until after conviction. Changes were made in phraseology. AMENDMENTS1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $5,000". |
