Article 384 of the French Customs Code

When the release of objects seized for infringement of laws the enforcement of which is entrusted to the customs administration is granted by judgments against which an appeal is lodged, they shall only be handed over to those in whose favour the said judgments were rendered under good and sufficient security for their value. Goods whose entry is prohibited may never be released.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 384

Lorsque la mainlevée des objets saisis pour infraction aux lois dont l’exécution est confiée à l’administration des douanes est accordée par jugements contre lesquels une voie de recours est introduite, a remise n’en est faite a ceux au profit desquels lesdits jugements ont été rendus que sous bonne et suffisante caution de leur valeur. La mainlevée ne peut jamais être accordée pour les marchandises dont l’entrée est prohibée.
