https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=795044 Section 110A of the Customs Act permits provisional release of any seized goods on bond, security and appropriate conditions pending adjudication. The discretion must be exercised fairly and reasonably and cannot be restricted by a blanket exclusion for goods alleged to be prohibited or restricted.
