The Treasury Secretary can require marks or stamps on bulk containers of imported spirits. Importers must place whatever marks the Secretary requires on those containers. A container leaving customs without the required marks is forfeited to the United States.

This section is a single, undivided provision. The Secretary of the Treasury may, by regulation, require specific marks, brands, and stamps or devices on any bulk container — including a pipeline — used to hold, store, transfer, or move imported distilled spirits, wine, or malt liquor. The Secretary decides what marks are necessary and proper for enforcing the federal laws on these imports, and may specify exactly which marks the importer or owner must place on each container. If such a container is taken out of customs custody and is found without any mark, brand, stamp, or device the Secretary required, both the container and everything inside it are forfeited to the United States.

The Secretary of the Treasury may by regulation require such marks, brands, and stamps or devices to be placed on any bulk container (including a pipeline) used for holding, storing, transferring or conveying imported distilled spirits, wines, or malt liquors as he deems necessary and proper in the administration of the Federal laws applicable to such imported distilled spirits, wines, or malt liquors and may specify those marks, brands, and stamps or devices which the importer or owner shall place or have placed on such containers. Any such container of imported distilled spirits, wines, or malt liquors withdrawn from customs custody purporting to contain imported distilled spirits, wines, or malt liquors found without having thereon any mark, brand, stamp, or device the Secretary of the Treasury may require, shall be with its contents, forfeited to the United States of America.
