Which of the following are examples of goods liable to forfeiture?

• A. Prohibited goods
• B. Restricted goods dealt contrary to conditions regulating their imports or exports
• C. Both of the above
• D. None of the above

Answer: (C)

The idea here is that forfeiture covers goods that are not allowed to be imported or exported under any circumstances, as well as goods that are allowed only under certain conditions and are not handled properly. Prohibited goods are banned outright, so they can be seized and forfeited if found. Restricted goods can be imported or exported only with the required licenses or under specific conditions; if someone handles them without the license, or in violation of the permit terms, those goods are also liable to be forfeited. Because both categories can lead to forfeiture, the correct answer is the one that includes both examples. For instance, unlicensed pharmaceuticals or weapons fall under restricted or prohibited categories and can be forfeited, while truly prohibited items are forfeited by their nature.
