Search 17 U.S.C. § 603 : US Code - Section 603: Importation prohibitions: Enforcement and disposition of excluded articles

(a) The Secretary of the Treasury and the United States Postal
Service shall separately or jointly make regulations for the
enforcement of the provisions of this title prohibiting
importation.
(b) These regulations may require, as a condition for the
exclusion of articles under section 602 -
(1) that the person seeking exclusion obtain a court order
enjoining importation of the articles; or
(2) that the person seeking exclusion furnish proof, of a
specified nature and in accordance with prescribed procedures,
that the copyright in which such person claims an interest is
valid and that the importation would violate the prohibition in
section 602; the person seeking exclusion may also be required to
post a surety bond for any injury that may result if the
detention or exclusion of the articles proves to be unjustified.
(c) Articles imported in violation of the importation
prohibitions of this title are subject to seizure and forfeiture in
the same manner as property imported in violation of the customs
revenue laws. Forfeited articles shall be destroyed as directed by
the Secretary of the Treasury or the court, as the case may be.
