(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 717; Pub. L. 103-322, title
XXXIII, Sec. 330016(1)(K), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on section 1598 of title 19, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Customs
Duties (June 17, 1930, ch. 497, title IV, Sec. 598, 46 Stat. 752;
June 25, 1938, ch. 679, Sec. 26, 52 Stat. 1089).
Reference to persons causing, procuring, aiding or assisting was
omitted as unnecessary in view of definition of "principal" in
section 2 of this title.
In view of definition of felony in section 1 of this title words
"guilty of a felony" were omitted. (See reviser's note under
section 550 of this title.)
The punishment prescribed by section 545 of this title was
inserted to make this section complete without reference to another
section. In doing so it was necessary to rephrase the punishment
provision of section 545 of this title, as originally enacted,
without change of substance.
Forfeiture provision was omitted to conform with current
administrative practice.
Changes were made in phraseology.
AMENDMENTS
1994 - Pub. L. 103-322 substituted "fined under this title" for
"fined not more than $5,000" in last par.
