Recorded statements made during inquiry under the Customs framework are admissible for proving the truth of their contents only if the statutory procedural safeguards are complied with: the person must be examined as a witness before the adjudicating authority, the adjudicating authority must form an opinion to admit the statement, and an opportunity for cross examination must be given.
