One of the manifests should be delivered to the conductor of the car, or the master of the vessel, and the other two should be returned to the custom-house without unnecessary delay.

The collector or acting collector should transmit one copy of the manifest by first mail to the chief customs officer of the port of destination.

50. Upon arrival of the car or vessel or other conveyance at the port of destination, examination should be made of the fastenings of the vehicle for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not they have been tampered with. If such fastenings are not intact, or the collector has reason to suspect fraudulent attempts, he should take possession of the vehicle and its contents and report the facts to the commanding general. If there is no evidence that fraud has been attempted, the seals should be removed by the customs officer and entry of the goods allowed as hereinbefore provided for.

51. Merchandise in bonded warehouse may be examined at any time during the business hours of the port by the importer, consignee, or agent, who may take samples of his goods in reasonable quantities, according to the usage of the port; make all needful repairs of packages, and repack the goods if necessary for their safety or preservation, provided when the original contents are placed in the new packages they shall be marked and numbered as before.

Casks containing wines liable to sour may be refilled when necessary for preservation, but the wine used for such refilling must be part of the same importation and must have been withdrawn for consumption with payment of duties.

No samples shall be taken nor any goods exhibited or examined without a permit from the collector, countersigned by the naval officer, and under the supervision of an officer of customs, nor unless by request of the importer, owner, or consignee; nor shall any package be repaired nor goods repacked without a permit, to be granted only when necessary for the safety or preservation of the contents. Goods imported in bulk, and not in present danger of deterioration, can not be placed in packages while in warehouse.

52. All merchandise subject to a specific duty shall be dutiable according to the weight, measure, or quantity landed from the importing vessel.

53. Whenever the collector shall be duly notified of the existence of any lien for freight upon imported goods, he shall refuse delivery of the same until the lien has been satisfied.

54. Merchandise may remain in bonded warehouse for a period of one year, which period may be further extended by the collector at San Juan whenever sufficient reasons for such extension are presented to him. Merchandise not withdrawn at the completion of the prescribed period shall be forfeited to the United States, and shall be sold at auction. Out of the proceeds shall be paid all expenses incurred by the storage and sale of the goods and the duties due on the

same.

55. Merchandise in bond may be withdrawn at any time for consumption, for transportation to another port, or for exportation, but

no withdrawal shall be allowed before the liquidation of the original warehouse entry. The withdrawal must be made by the person or firm named in the original warehouse entry, or by a person or firm duly authorized by the former, which authority must appear in writing upon the face of the withdrawal. All withdrawals shall be made in duplicate or triplicate, as the case may be, and shall show the number of the bond, the marks and numbers of the packages withdrawn, the vessel and date of importation, the description, quantity, separate value of each package, and total dutiable value of the merchandise, and shall be signed by the party making the withdrawal.

56. No withdrawal for export shall be allowed before the liquidation of the warehousing entry, or a special liquidation of such items as refer to the merchandise exported, and there shall be no abatement nor allowance of duties on account of damage, loss, or deterioration of merchandise while in warehouse, except as provided by statute.

57. No merchandise shall be removed from a bonded warehouse unless upon a duly signed permit containing the designation of said warehouse, the date of the receipt of the merchandise therein, and the word "deliver" and date thereof, certified by the person in charge of the storage books at the custom-house.

WITHDRAWALS, AT ORIGINAL PORTS, FOR CONSUMPTION.

58. A withdrawal for consumption must be made out in the following form, and must be signed by the importer or by a party authorized by him. If by the latter, the original importer must place, upon the withdrawal, his written authority for the substitution. No oath or declaration is required for withdrawals from bond.

amount of duty due thereon. The collector shall fill out a permit for delivery on the following form:

The collector's clerk in charge of the storage accounts will make upon the permit a statement of storage and labor charges due upon the packages withdrawn from warehouses class one. After the duties and charges have been paid to the collector's cashier, the permit will be signed by the collector and returned to the importer or his representative for presentation to the storekeeper at the bonded warehouse, who will thereupon deliver the merchandise.

60. All permits received for the delivery of packages from bonded warehouse shall be entered upon the warehouse books and returned by the storekeeper thereof to the custom-house, stamped with date of delivery, and due note thereof shall be made upon the storekeeper's

record.

61. Merchandise upon which the duties have been paid may remain in bonded warehouse at the risk and expense of the owners, and if exported directly therefrom within the prescribed period shall be entitled to a remission of the duties paid thereon, less 1 per centum, but evidence of due landing abroad shall be furnished by the importer to the collector.

WITHDRAWALS, AT ORIGINAL PORTS, FOR EXPORTATION.

62. The withdrawal of goods from warehouse for exportation, at the port of original importation, shall be made in the following form:

Additional port marks may be made by authority of the collector and under the supervision of a customs officer, but both the original and the port marks shall appear in all papers pertaining to the exportation.

The withdrawal will be verified in the following form:

63. The withdrawal having been duly entered in the warehouse accounts, the exporter shall give bond, with satisfactory security, in a penal sum equal to double the amount of the estimated duties on the goods, to produce the proof required by law of the landing the same beyond the limits of Porto Rico, which bond shall be in the following form:
