Confiscation and penalty under customs law do not exclude other punishments under the same Act or any other law. Confiscation of goods and conveyances and the imposition of penalties by a customs officer do not bar the application of other punishments. An order under the Customs Act for confiscation or penalty operates independently of any further liability under Chapter XVI of the Act or under any other law. The provision preserves the ability to impose additional punishment where such liability otherwise exists.
