Editorial Notes

Prior ProvisionsProvisions similar to those in this section were contained in act Sept. 21, 1922, ch. 356, title IV, § 523, 42 Stat. 974. That section was superseded by section 523 of act June 17, 1930, comprising this section, and repealed by section 651(a)(1) of the 1930 act.

Amendments1970—Pub. L. 91271 substituted reference to customs officers for reference to collectors. 1953—Act Aug. 8, 1953, amended section generally by eliminating the provision continuing “naval officers of customs” as “Comptrollers of Customs”; by substituting the reference to “The Secretary of the Treasury or such officer or employee as he shall designate” for references to the comptrollers of customs; and, among other changes, substituting the provision that the verification of assessments of duties and allowances of drawbacks should be to such extent as the Secretary of the Treasury directs, for the former provision requiring such verification in all cases.
