in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Property tied to an illegal import deal under section 8 can be seized. This applies whether it's already in the U.S. or being shipped between states. The government forfeits and condemns it the same way as illegally imported goods.

This section covers property that is owned under a contract, combination, or conspiracy described in section 8 of this title, and that is the actual subject of that illegal deal. If this property has been imported and is now within the United States, or is currently being shipped from one state to another, or to or from a Territory or the District of Columbia, it is forfeited to the United States. The government can seize and condemn this property using the same legal procedures already used for property imported into the United States unlawfully.
