Property tied to an illegal contract, combination, or conspiracy under section 1 can be forfeited. This applies while it's being shipped between states or to another country. The government seizes and condemns it the same way it handles illegally imported goods.

This section covers property that is owned as part of an illegal contract, combination, or conspiracy described in section 1 of this title (the Sherman Antitrust Act's ban on restraint of trade), where that property is the actual subject of the illegal deal. If that property is in the process of being shipped from one state to another, or to a foreign country, it can be forfeited to the United States. The government seizes and condemns it using the same legal procedures the law already uses for property that was illegally imported into the United States.
