This section gives federal district courts exclusive original jurisdiction over seizures under United States law that occur on land or on waters outside admiralty and maritime jurisdiction. It excludes matters within the jurisdiction of the Court of International Trade under 28 U.S.C. § 1582.
The district* courts have original jurisdiction, and state courts do not, over any “seizure” under a United States law that occurs on land or on waters outside admiralty and maritime jurisdiction. This section does not define the term “seizure.” The exception is for matters within the jurisdiction of the Court of International Trade under section 1582 of this title.
The district* courts shall have original jurisdiction, exclusive of the courts of the States, of any seizure under any law of the United States on land or upon waters not within admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, except matters within the jurisdiction of the Court of International Trade under section 1582 of this title.
