D. 15778, dise in bond on transfer ferries, must, immediately upon 24194. landing and before entering his vessel at the customhouse, mail to the Auditor for the Treasury Department, Washington, a true copy of the manifest of his vessel, and on entering his vessel must make affidavit that he has mailed such copy and that the same is true and correct; and he must also mail to the Auditor a true copy of the corrected manifest filed on any post entry of his vessel, and make affidavit to such mailing. Any master who neglects or refuses to mail to the said Auditor the required copy of the original and corrected manifests, shall be subject to the same fines and penalties fixed by law for his refusal to deliver the manifest of his vessel to the collector. This regulation does not apply to any port where there is a naval officer. (See art. 114.)

Art. 90. Returns on manifest.-Envelopes, with the address of the Auditor for the Treasury Department, and instructions printed thereon, will be furnished the collector on the usual requisition on the Secretary of the Treasury (see Chap. XXII), for delivery to masters of vessels arriving at his port, and he will cause the same to be delivered by the boarding officer to the master of each vessel boarded, and if the vessel is not boarded he will deliver them to each master upon his arrival at his office

before permitting him to enter his vessel. The boarding officer or the collector will inform each master of this requirement.

Each collector of a nonnaval office port receiving the manifest of a vessel on entry of the same shall, as soon as practicable after the unlading of the vessel and the entry or storing of the cargo, make a copy of the manifest of such vessel (or, if possible, use for this purpose a copy of the same delivered to the boarding officer or the collector), and opposite the several items of merchandise therein set forth show the disposition of the same-that is, what items have been entered for consumption, warehouse, immediate transportation without appraisement, or have gone into general order as unclaimed, giving the number of packages or articles on each line of the manifest so disposed of, and numbers of the respective entries, and the general order number, and on entries for immediate transportation without appraisement the names of the ports to which shipments have been made. This copy of the manifest, with the disposition of the merchandise noted thereon, as herein directed, must be promptly forwarded by the collector to the Auditor for the Treasury Department, using for this purpose the special envelopes furnished collectors.

In all cases of post entries by masters of vessels the copy of the manifest to be forwarded by the collector to the Auditor must be of the corrected manifest filed, and not of the original.

Art. 91. Discrimination against American vessels.-Whenever any foreign nation prohibits the importation in vessels of the United States of any merchandise except the produce or manufacture of the United States, vessels of such foreign nation shall, unless otherwise provided by treaty, with their cargoes, be subject to forfeiture for bringing into a port of the United States merchandise which is not the produce or manufacture of the country to which such vessels belong. (See Art. 1055.)

Art. 92. Post entry.-If any merchandise be found on board any vessel from a foreign port which is not included in her manifest, the master shall forfeit an amount equal to the value of the merchandise not manifested, and all such merchandise belonging or consigned to the officers or crew of the vessel shall be forfeited. This forfei

ture is not incurred, however, if it shall be made to ap-
pear to the principal customs officers at the port, or to the
court in which the trial shall be held, that no part of
the cargo has been unladen, except as accounted for in
the master's report, and that the errors and omissions in
the manifest were made without fraud or collusion.
such case the master may be allowed to correct his mani-
fest by means of a post entry. It shall not be lawful to
grant a permit to unlade any such merchandise so omitted.
before such post entry or addition to such report or man-
ifest has been made.

Art. 93. Omitted goods for a foreign port.-Should it T. D. 24195. appear upon post entry that the merchandise is destined for a foreign port, the vessel should be permitted to proceed, as in the case of properly manifested merchandise destined for a foreign port covered by article 113 of these regulations, upon bond being given to the collector as specified in said article 113. Should the merchandise be landed post entry should be made upon the manifest, and on the production of a regular bill of lading an export entry made.

The master of every vessel bound to a port of the United States must, on arrival within four leagues of the coast or within the limits of any collection district in T. D. 8308. which the cargo or any part thereof is intended to be unladen, produce the manifest for inspection to any officer of the customs who may first come on board the vessel and deliver to him a copy thereof subscribed by him for each port at which merchandise is to be unladen.

The officer, after the requisite examination and comparison of the original and copy, shall certify on the original to its production and on the copy to the fact of its agreement with the original, and shall forthwith transmit a copy to the collector of each district to which the merchandise may be consigned.
