In a seizure and arrest case, what form should you fill out when the violator abandoned the property?

• A. CBP Form 4606
• B. CBP Form 4607
• C. DHS Form 100
• D. CBP Form 4637

Answer: (B)

When property is abandoned during a seizure or arrest, the designated way to document that status is to use the form specifically for abandonment. This form records that the violator relinquished all claim to the property, the details of what was abandoned, where and when it happened, and who witnessed the abandonment. Completing it correctly ensures the abandonment is officially recognized, preserves the proper chain of custody, and triggers the next steps for disposition or forfeiture as appropriate.

Other forms exist for different parts of the seizure process, such as notices, inventory, or internal processing. They don’t serve the specific function of recording abandonment, which is why the abandonment form is the best choice in this scenario.
