Federal district courts can stop violations of the import-trade law in section 8. U.S. attorneys must file lawsuits to stop these violations. Courts can issue temporary orders while a case is still pending.

The federal district courts have the power to prevent and stop violations of section 8 of this title. It is the duty of the U.S. attorneys, in their own districts and under the Attorney General's direction, to start lawsuits in equity to prevent and stop these violations. These lawsuits can be filed as petitions that lay out the case and ask the court to enjoin or otherwise prohibit the violations. Once the accused parties have been properly notified of the petition, the court must move as quickly as possible to hear and decide the case. While the petition is pending, and before the court reaches a final decision, the court may issue any temporary restraining order or prohibition it thinks is fair under the circumstances.

The several district courts of the United States are invested with jurisdiction to prevent and restrain violations of section 8 of this title; and it shall be the duty of the several United States attorneys, in their respective districts, under the direction of the Attorney General, to institute proceedings in equity to prevent and restrain such violations. Such proceedings may be by way of petitions setting forth the case and praying that such violations shall be enjoined or otherwise prohibited. When the parties complained of shall have been duly notified of such petition the court shall proceed, as soon as may be, to the hearing and determination of the case; and pending such petition and before final decree, the court may at any time make such temporary restraining order or prohibition as shall be deemed just in the premises.
