ART. 1299. Whenever articles are to be destroyed they must be conveyed to some suitable place, and proper means, to be prescribed by the special examiner or analyst, used for their effectual destruction, in the presence of an officer of the customs detailed by the collector for the purpose. Before the articles are destroyed, a particular description or statement of the same must be prepared containing the name of the importer or owner, the date of importation, the name of the vessel, and the place from which imported, with the character and quantity of the articles and the invoice value.

No. 822), or upon the filing of a new bond for the exportation of the tea as provided in section 6 of the act, or upon the destruction thereof as provided for hereinafter. ART. 1302. The examination of teas shall be made by means of samples to be drawn from packages designated by the collector and to be furnished by the importer, and of additional samples to be obtained by the examiner. The importer shall furnish a sworn statement that any samples submitted by him to the examiner are drawn from packages designated by the collector and covered by his entry (naming the vessel), and that to the best of his knowledge and belief they represent the true qualities of each and every part of the invoice (including the proportion of dust), and accord with the specifications therein contained. The importer shall submit with his entry a chop list or specification of the several lines included in the invoice, and the collector shall select for examination packages representing the different lines. The examination and report upon such samples shall be made in accordance with the provisions of section 7 of the above act. ART. 1303. Imported teas entered at an exterior port, destined for immediate transportation to an interior port, shall be forwarded without detention; but in all cases, whether for immediate transportation or for transporta- tion in bond, the collector will note on the transportation papers whether the tea has been examined or not.

In all cases samples drawn by the importer and by the customs officer should be forwarded, and the name of the importer or customs officer drawing the sample should appear on the label. T. D., 21439. T. D., 18092. ART. 1305. If, after examination, the tea is found not to be prohibited under the act, a permit shall at once be granted to the importer declaring the tea free from control of the customs authorities; but if, on examination, such tea, or merchandise described as tea, is found, in the opinion of the examiner, to come within the prohibitions of the law and of these regulations, the importer shall be immediately notified, and the tea, or merchandise described as tea, so returned, shall not be released by the custom-house authorities, unless on a reexamination called for by the importer the return of the examiner shall be found erroneous. Should a portion only of the invoice be passed by the examiner as correct, a permit of delivery shall be granted for that portion and the remainder be held as provided in section 6 of the act. Any portion of T. D., 21913. an importation of tea entered for consumption which may be rejected will be held under the special tea bond until it is either destroyed or exported according to law, and the entry is not to be accounted for to the Treasury Department in the warehouse and bond account. ART. 1306. In case the collector, importer, or consignee T. D., 18515. shall protest against the finding of the examiner, the matter in dispute shall be referred for decision to a board of three United States general appraisers, designated by the Secretary of the Treasury, and if such board shall, after due examination, find the tea in question to be equal |
