in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

It's illegal to buy or sell an emptied imported-liquor cask still bearing its stamp. It's also illegal to use a cask, or fake marks, to hold domestic spirits for sale. Violators forfeit the cask and its contents, plus pay a $200 fine per cask.

If a person buys or sells a cask or other package that was once used to hold imported liquors and has since been emptied, while it still carries the required imported-liquor stamp, or any of the marks or brands placed on it under the laws or regulations for imported liquors; or if a person uses or possesses such a cask or package while it carries any imitation of those marks or brands, in order to put domestic distilled spirits in it for sale — then every such cask or package, along with its contents if any, is forfeited to the United States. Anyone who breaks any part of this section is also liable for a penalty of $200 for every cask or package that was bought, sold, used, or possessed this way.
