Abetment of attempted export requires a positive act supported by admissible evidence of assistance, tampering, or knowledge of concealment. The notes state that no evidence linked the exporter, its managing partner, employees, or Customs House Agent to loading red sanders into a container declared to carry roofing tiles, tampering with the container, or knowing of the concealment during transit.
