1Opinion of the Court
WIGGINS, Circuit Judge:
Vapsi Akiram Salas-Camacho appeals his conviction for smuggling goods into the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 545, and making two false denials that he was bringing merchandise into this country, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001. He claims that because he declared the goods at the secondary inspection station, he cannot be convicted of smuggling. He also argues the district court erred in rejecting jury instructions to that effect. We need also to decide if the appellant can be convicted twice of making the same denial to Customs officials. We affirm.
