Court held that fines of $80,000 total for each defendant ($16,000 per summons) were appropriate; established a guideline that fines may be set at about 40% of the value of the goods (subject to case circumstances); courts must not reduce criminal penalties merely because administrative quota penalties will be applied; fines must not leave defendant with a net profit on the transaction.
