Abetment of attempted export of prohibited goods requires material proving a Customs Broker's knowledge, conscious involvement or collusion. Filing shipping bills, arranging containers and processing exporter-provided documents, without more, do not establish knowing assistance; a due-diligence duty does not remove that evidentiary requirement.
