The phrase "or other official certificate" is held to embrace every certificate requiring the collector's official signature in the regular transaction of the business of the custom house, including his certificate to an oath, invoice, or manifest.

The phrase "permit to land or deliver imported goods" is intended to include all permits to land, whether for immediate delivery or otherwise; and all permits to warehouse or public store, or delivery therefrom; all permits or orders to appraise without invoice; and all permits to transfer goods from one store to another, when required by owner or importer.

A fee of 20 cents for a permit to deliver goods from the warehousing or importing vessel, in addition to a fee of 30 cents for the permit to load for exportation, will be collected.

For a landing permit of passengers' baggage, whether embracing the baggage of one or more persons, a single fee only shall be collected.

Fees for weighing, gauging, or measuring imports will be charged in all cases where the invoice or entry shall not contain the weight, quantity, or measure of the merchandise weighed, gauged, or measured; and whenever the weighing, gauging, or measuring shall disclose a difference between the actual weight or quantity and that specified in the invoice or entry, affording a well-grounded presumption of fraud, the collector will advise with the District Attorney of the United States in regard to the case, and will be governed by his opinion as to the propriety of instituting legal proceedings for enforcing the penalty provided by law.

Fees for weighing, gauging, or measuring goods withdrawn from warehouse in quan tities less than the entire importation, are to be paid by the importer, at the rates prescribed by law. The actual expense incurred is not to be taken into consideration.

The fees allowed to surveyors for services other than admeasurement on board vessels, may be charged by the collectors performing such services at ports where there are no surveyors; but such fees will not be collected from coasting vessels.

Fees for the admeasurement of vessels under five tons in burden will not be charged. Collectors may receive port warden's and harbour master's fees, where it is a matter of convenience to all parties concerned.

The term "legal fees" does not embrace pilotage, half pilotage, or similar local charges. Invoices must be certified and sealed by the collector as soon as received, for which service he should collect a fee of 20 cents in the case of any original invoice presented by the importer or consignee; but no fees should be charged for a certificate to a duplicate invoice, manifest, or other paper forwarded to the collector as a verification of the original document.

Masters of passenger vessels from foreign territory not contiguous to the United States are required to pay, within 24 hours from entry, to the collector of customs at the port of

arrival, ten ($10) dollars for each passenger over eight years of age (not being a cabin passenger) who shall have died of natural disease during the voyage.

Collectors, naval officers, and surveyors are required to have posted in a public place in their offices a fair table of the fees demandable by law at their ports, subject at all times to inspection, and to give receipts for fees collected, specifying the particulars, whenever required to do so. Failure to observe these requirements entails a penalty of one hundred ($100) dollars, for the benefit of the informer.

Fees will not be charged on the northern frontiers for permits to unlade cargo brought from an American port; but permits must be obtained, and existing laws complied with, previous to the discharge or landing of passengers, baggage, goods, wares, or merchandise brought from foreign ports or places.

Canadian steamers trading on the northern frontiers from one foreign port to another, and touching during the course of such voyage at a port or place in the United States, and landing passengers, baggage, or freight, are required to report and pay entrance and clearance fees, in addition to the usual fee for a permit to land imported goods.

Fees will not be collected by officers of the customs for receiving or certifying manifests of railroad cars, or other vehicles laden with goods, wares, or merchandise, sealed by customs officers, for transportation from one port or place in the United States to another therein, through foreign contiguous territory; such manifests, however, will be produced, received, and certified in the same manner as heretofore. Fees for receiving and certifying manifests accompanying cars laden in foreign contiguous territory, will continue to be collected.
