Paragraph 1: Administrative liability.

The customs administration is liable for the acts of its employees, in the performance of and by reason of their duties only, unless it has recourse against them or their sureties.

Where a seizure made pursuant to article 323-2 above is unfounded, the owner of the goods shall be entitled to compensation interest at the rate of 1% per month of the value of the objects seized, from the time of the seizure until the time they were handed over or offered to him.

If it is not found that there are grounds for seizure, the sum of 0.76 euros must be paid to the person whose home was searched, in accordance with article 64 above, subject to any greater damages to which the circumstances of the visit may give rise.
