TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
§ 1917
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on section 1616 of title 19, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Cus-
toms Duties (June 17, 1930, ch. 497, title IV, § 616, 46
Stat. 757).
Designation of the offense as a felony was omitted as
unnecessary in view of definitive section 1 of this title.
(See reviser’s note under section 550 of this title.)
Words ‘‘and upon conviction thereof’’ were also omit-
ted as unnecessary, since punishment could not be im-
posed until after conviction.
Changes were made in phraseology.
Editorial Notes
AMENDMENTS
1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted ‘‘fined under this
title’’ for ‘‘fined not more than $5,000’’.
