What must coincide with the charging of 18 U.S.C. 554?

Charging under 18 U.S.C. 554 requires the alignment with another statute prohibiting illegal export because this statute specifically addresses the unlawful transport of goods from the United States, such as smuggling. In practical terms, 18 U.S.C. 554 operates within the broader framework of export control laws. Therefore, a violation of this statute is often contingent upon the actions also constituting a breach of other relevant export regulations.

By linking the charge to another statute that enforces export prohibitions, the legal foundation for prosecution is strengthened. This ensures that the individual charged has engaged in conduct that not only violates 18 U.S.C. 554 but also breaches established laws governing the export of goods, providing a more comprehensive approach for enforcement and prosecution.
