The proper customs officer may receive money recovered in a duty-law seizure or forfeiture case, after court-approved charges, and must distribute it promptly as the law requires.

The customs officer for the district where a seizure was made or a forfeiture incurred for violating the duty laws may receive the recovered money from the trial court or its proper officer, after the court deducts all proper charges. Upon receiving the money, the officer must pay and distribute it without delay as the law directs.
