with the intention of being immediately carried without the limits of the United States, and are not intended, directly or indirectly, to be sold, alienated, exchanged, or consumed within the limits of the United States; and I do further that if I shall hereafter know that the whole or any part of said goods, wares, or merchandise shall have been sold, alienated, exchanged, or consumed within the limits of the United States, I will immediately report the same, with the circumstances thereof, truly, to the collector of this district. PORT OF before me, this day of Collector. T. D. 9269. ART. 714. The entry having been compared with the lations, art. 21. invoice, manifest, or bill of lading, and duly declared to, and the duties estimated on the foreign market value, the consignee or agent shall give bond (Cat. No. 757) in a penal sum equal to double the value of the goods and duties added; such bond will be taken for six months when exportation is made via Pembina or Pacific ports, and for four months in all other cases. ART. 715. The collector shall thereupon issue a permit countersigned by naval officer (Cat. No. 767), directing the inspector in charge of the vessel of importation to send the merchandise to the vessel or railway car designated in the entry, except goods required to be corded and sealed. He shall also send two of the entries to the surveyor, with directions thereon to examine the goods and to superintend the lading thereof for export, including a description of the route by which the goods are to be forwarded to their final destination. Upon receipt of this order the surveyor shall have the packages examined, and, if they be found to agree in all particulars with the description contained in the entry, and corded, sealed, or branded, if required, he will permit them to be laden on board the designated conveyance, which must be secured by customs lock or seal; and upon the lading being completed, cause return of the fact to be made in form Cat. No. 899. Upon receipt of this return the surveyor shall transmit the entries to the collector, who will forward the manifest and mail copy to the collector at the frontier port through which the exportation is to be made. One copy must be retained in each office. ART. 716. This form of entry will be allowed when it appears by the invoice, bill of lading, and manifest, or other satisfactory evidence, that the merchandise was destined, when shipped at the foreign port, for immediate exportation, and consequently is not to be considered an importation into the United States within the meaning of the law. In such case the owner's oath, certified invoice, and appraiser's examination are not required; nor need a copy of the invoice be transmitted with such entry to the frontier port. If the goods are not placed in sealed cars the packages must be examined at the frontier port for the purpose of identifying them, and they must remain uninterruptedly in the custody or under the lock of the customs officers until their actual exportation from the last port on the frontier. The ultimate foreign destina- T. D. 2258,20909. tion of goods shipped under this form may be changed after arrival at the port of exportation. ART. 717. All merchandise entered and exported to British North America, when the transportation is made through the United States, whether by land or by water, unless conveyed in sealed cars, shall be secured in the following manner: The collector, before delivery, shall have all goods in boxes, cases, bales, or casks, corded, and a lead seal attached thereto, for which no fee will be charged; all cigars in small boxes must be packed in cases, and corded and sealed as above. Wines and distilled spirits in casks or other packages must have the number of bung or other holes in each package legibly branded on the exterior, and all such holes must be sealed to prevent adulteration or alteration in transit. The triplicate entry and manifest will specify particulars of sealing and branding. Whenever necessary for the cording, sealing, and branding of packages, they shall be taken to a bonded warehouse from the ship, under special permit. (Cat. No. 759.) When the regulations shall have been complied with, under such special permit, the packages will be sent to the railway car or other conveyance under the usual export delivery permit. If, however, the cording, sealing, and branding can be done on board the importing vessel with safety to the revenue, it may be considered a warehouse for that purpose; after which the goods can be sent direct from the vessel to the car or other conveyance. Where merchandise may be conveyed by an authorized railroad route to the place of final destination, it shall, if the character of the merchandise will admit, be placed in sealed cars, in which case the cording, sealing, or branding of the packages otherwise required may be dispensed with. ART. 718. In all cases a separate manifest shall be pre T. D. 17689. T. D. 7031, 8896. pared for each vessel, railroad carriage, or other vehicle, of the merchandise laden on board such conveyance which shall be furnished to the master of the vessel or conductor of the car, who shall, on arrival at the frontier port, deliver the same to the collector or other chief officer of such port. Such manifest shall be in the form Cat. No. 760. ART. 719. On arrival of the merchandise at the frontier port designated in the entry, and due delivery of the manifest by the master or conductor, the collector shall, in case the goods are shipped in sealed cars, examine the locks and seals with which the car is secured, and if satisfied, from such examination and from examination of the manifest, that the locks and seals have not been tampered with and the contents of such car not disturbed, shall allow the car to proceed to its destination without opening the same. If, however, the seals are not intact, or if the inspecting officer has any reason to believe that the contents of the car have been tampered with, the collector shall take such car and its contents into his custody, and report the facts to the Secretary of the Treasury, and also notify the collector at the port of departure. If the goods were not shipped in sealed cars, the inspecting officer will carefully inspect and examine the packages by the manifest. The same comparison and examination will also be made of the cording, sealing, and branding. Should the goods be found not to agree with the manifest, or should there be any reason to believe that any violation, alteration, or fabrication has occurred, the collector will take immediate possession of the goods, and send a statement of the case to the Secretary of the Treasury, at the same time notifying the collector of the port from which the goods were forwarded. Should the merchandise arrive at the frontier port before the receipt of the triplicate entry, it will not be detained there for that reason, but will be inspected and checked by the manifest. When the entry shall have been received it will be compared with the manifest or manifests, and if it shall appear that all the packages described therein have passed inspection, and have been duly delivered to be forwarded to their final destination, the collector shall then, and not before, furnish to the exporter or his agent a certificate in the form Cat. No. 761. He shall also transmit a duplicate of this certificate to the collector of the port from which the goods were forwarded. ART. 720. For the cancellation of his bond, the exporter shall produce a landing certificate, under the hand and seal of the collector or other chief revenue officer of the foreign port, in the following form: I. FORM NO. 62 (OLD No. 35). Certificate of landing in the Dominion of Canada.

Upon receipt of this certificate, together with the certificate of inspection at the frontier port, within the time prescribed in the bond, the collector at the port of entry shall cause the bond to be canceled. ART. 721. Merchandise not appearing by the invoice, bill of lading, and manifest, or other satisfactory evidence, to have been intended at the time of shipment from the foreign port for immediate transportation and exportation, shall be treated as merchandise imported into the United States for entry for warehouse or consumption. ART. 722. Merchandise imported at any other than the T.D. 9619. designated ports on the seaboard or frontier, even though the same shall appear by manifest and invoice or bill of lading to have been destined for immediate exportation to Canada, can not be exported except upon regular warehouse and transportation entry at the port of arrival and rewarehouse and exportation entry at the port of exit; and the same applies to goods imported at the designated ports which it is desired to forward by a route not duly authorized. No consular invoices are required for goods entered for immediate transportation and export. ART. 723. Merchandise may be shipped to the Dominion of Canada by authorized routes under combined entry for immediate transportation and exportation from Portland, Me., Boston, or New York, by way of the frontier ports of Island Pond or St. Albans, in the district of Vermont, Rouse Point, in the district of Champlain, Ogdensburg, T.

MERCHANDISE IN TRANSIT FROM CANADA FOR EXPORTATION. ART. 724. The form of entry and the regulations in regard to merchandise imported into the designated ports on the seaboard, in transit and for exportation to British North America, prescribed in article 713, will also be used and applied at the ports on the frontier where the designated routes enter the United States to goods imported into those ports from British North America for transit and exportation through said seaboard ports to foreign countries. Such forms will be varied so far only as to make them conform to the facts, and will include a certificate of inspection and lading at the port of departure from the United States corresponding with the prescribed form, which shall be in triplicate. Bonds covering articles of the production or manufacture of Canada shipped on through bills of lading for foreign ports, via the designated ports in the United States, and consigned by bonded routes in the manner required by these regulations to the port of shipment, and shipped thence to the port of destination by vessels plying between the United States and any foreign port, may be canceled on production of a certificate from the collector of customs at the port of final shipment in the form Cat. No. 7614. If the route be continuous, the cars or vessels upon which such merchandise is laden shall be sealed and locked in the same manner as cars conveying goods in transit across foreign territory, and must pass from the port of importation to the port of exportation without delay. If the merchandise be forwarded by either of the water routes, it must be conveyed in vessels bonded for that purpose, but special authority must be received from the Secretary of the Treasury to bond any vessel for this purpose. § 5.
