The collector and naval officer, in their action on the export entry of articles of domestic manufacture, will be careful to check the original importation entries of the materials consumed in their manufacture, in order to guard against over-allowance.

pletion of the entry and the issue of the certificate of drawback.

In like manner, when the regulations relative to inspection have not been complied with, and the omission is shown not to have resulted from any fault of the exporter, the collector will report the case to the Secretary of the Treasury, and if the evidence of exportation and landing abroad be satisfactory, direction will be given for the issue of the certificate.

person receiving payment of any drawback certificate, in addition to his endorsement or receipt on such certificate, will be required to sign a receipt therefor on the margin, said receipt to be retained and preserved in the office of the collector.

For liquidation of such certificates, collectors of the customs, acting as disbursing agents of the Treasury, will make monthly estimates, in the usual form, to the Commissioner of Customs, who will cause the requisite sums to be remitted for such liquidation.

ART. 833. The sum so remitted will be credited by the collector, as disbursing agent, in his monthly account of receipts and disbursements, and the amount paid on drawback certificates will be charged in the same account, an abstract of such payments being transmitted with the ac

count.
