Which type of property can be administratively forfeited under 19 USC 1607?

Under 19 USC 1607, the type of property that can be administratively forfeited includes prohibited imports and conveyances used for transportation. This provision allows for the forfeiture of items that violate U.S. trade laws or are involved in transporting goods that are banned from importation. The rationale behind this is to enforce customs regulations and protect the integrity of national borders and trade practices.

Prohibited imports are considered a serious violation because they may pose risks to public safety, health, or national security. Likewise, conveyances utilized in the transport of these prohibited imports can also be forfeited to deter illegal activities and prevent further violations.

Other options, such as personal property owned by individuals, vehicles not registered in the U.S., or real estate properties exceeding $1 million, do not fall under the specific provisions of 19 USC 1607 regarding administrative forfeiture. These categories do not directly relate to enforcement actions intended for items that contravene customs regulations.
