Show the answer
D. The value the merchandise would have had if it were genuine, using the U.S. manufacturer's suggested retail price at seizure
Under 19 U.S.C. 1526(f), the fine for a first seizure is not more than the genuine value, measured by the manufacturer's suggested retail price in the United States at the time of seizure. For the second and later seizures, the fine is not more than twice that value.
