# 18 U.S.C. § 1915 - Compromise of customs liabilities
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
Whoever, being an officer of the United States, without lawful authority compromises or abates or attempts to compromise or abate any claim of the United States arising under the customs laws for any fine, penalty or forfeiture, or in any manner relieves or attempts to relieve any person, vessel, vehicle, merchandise or baggage therefrom, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
|

|
||
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 793; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(K), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
Historical and Revision NotesBased 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.

Editorial Notes
|

|
||
Amendments1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted “fined under this title” for “fined not more than $5,000”.
