The authority of seizing agencies to conduct administrative forfeitures derives from the procedural provisions of the Customs laws (19 U.S.C. 1602-1618) where those provisions are incorporated by reference in the substantive forfeiture statutes enforced by the agencies. (b) The regulations in this part will apply to all forfeiture actions commenced on or after October 12, 2012.
