# 46 U.S.C. § 56105 - Forfeiture procedure
## Text
(a) In General.— A forfeiture under this chapter may be enforced in the same way as a forfeiture under the laws on the collection of duties. However, such a forfeiture may be remitted without seizure of the vessel.
(b) Prior Convictions.— In a proceeding under this chapter to enforce a forfeiture, a prior criminal conviction of a person for a violation of this chapter with respect to the subject matter of the forfeiture is prima facie evidence of the violation against the person convicted.
(Pub. L. 109304, § 8(c), Oct. 6, 2006, 120 Stat. 1654.)
