United States Federal Circuit

Revocation of a customs broker's license was not contrary to 19 U.S.C. section 1641(d) because the license was revoked for failing to pay monetary penalties in a timely manner, not as a second sanction for U.S. Customs Service violations for which the penalties were assessed.
