After making notification to CBP, this individual must return to the vessel and remain on board until CBP arrives. Failure to report can result in civil penalties as defined in Title 19, United States Code, Section 1436 to include a penalty of $5,000 for the first violation and $10,000 for each subsequent violation with the conveyance subject to seizure and forfeiture. In addition to being liable for a civil penalty, any master who intentionally commits a violation under subsection (a) of this section upon conviction is liable for a fine of not more than $2,000 or imprisonment for 1 year or both.All documented or registered vessels 30 feet in length or greater are required to make application for a private vessel decal if crossing the international border by water.
