Update: Feb. 3, 2008:
REFUNDS OF MONEY/CURRENCY SEIZED BY CUSTOMS

Since the passage of CAFRA 2000 Customs has made thousands of seizures of money/currency from persons entering and departing the United States without completing the currency reporting forms. We have represented persons throughout the United States who have had $869,034.75 seized by Customs. We have succeeded in having $774,250.97 of this amount refunded. On the other hand, in a report by the Government dated December 10, 2004, out of 168 currency seizures approximately 95% of the funds were forfeited to the Government because the persons had no legal counsel.

The pitfalls of Importing, exporting, transporting, and world trade generally are numerous and difficult to anticipate.  Companies engaged in these activities frequently find themselves at the mercy of an inexperienced government official or a dishonest businessman.
