Notes
Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 119 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 63, 35 Stat. 1100). Section was rewritten to apply to all customs documents or writings. The Treasury Department advises that certificates of entry are obsolete. Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative. Changes were made in phraseology.
Editorial Notes
Amendments1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted “fined under this title” for “fined not more than $10,000”.
