Production of title to and disposal of goods

(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act or any other law, the Comptroller may, in his discretion, require an importer to produce satisfactory evidence of title to the goods within such time as the Comptroller may prescribe, and the Comptroller may detain the goods pending the production of such evidence. (2) In the event the importer fails or neglects to satisfy the Comptroller within the specified time that he possesses good title to the goods, the Comptroller may, after giving the importer one month’s notice of his intention to do so, declare the goods forfeited and may dispose of such goods by public auction or in such other manner as the Comptroller may think fit.
