The HC declined to adjudicate the merits and confined review to the provisional release order, finding certain onerous conditions susceptible to modification; accordingly the HC modified those conditions and directed the respondents to release the seized goods upon compliance with the revised conditions, including execution of bonds for differential duty and adjudication levies as appropriate, while permitting the Department to continue adjudication proceedings.
