If withdrawn by other than the party who warehoused the merchandise, the same authority will be required as in other cases.

The withdrawal must be made in triplicate and verified by the declaration of the exporter.

In such cases collectors shall cause entry to be made in triplicate, carefully specifying the articles, with quantities, values, and duties, one of which shall be transmitted by mail to the collector at Pembina; another given to the

owner of the goods, to be by him delivered to the same collector, and the third retained on the files of the customhouse at the port of departure.
