form 30; the order to deliver to the surveyor as per form 31; first requiring the oath and bond prescribed to be taken in like cases when goods are exported from the warehouses at the port of original importation.

The form prescribed for withdrawing goods from a second port of warehousing may also be used at the third or fourth port, and those used in entering goods at a third port may be used also at subsequent ports at which they may be entered for warehousing.

To prevent frauds upon the revenue, wines and spirituous liquors imported in casks, demijohns, or other similar vessels, must be encased at the expense of the shipper, before delivery from the warehouse, if entered for transportation; and all other packages containing more than one quality or description of goods, and liable to have their contents changed in transitu, should be corded and sealed in the manner prescribed by the instructions of the Department with reference to goods entered for transportation to Santa Fé and Chihuahua, dated 25th February, 1846. Great care should be taken at the port of destination to ascertain that no change has been made in the contents of the package, by withdrawing any portion of the goods and substituting a different or

inferior article.

Wines and other distilled spirits heretofore deposited in public store, under the direction of the surveyor, or in private stores, under the joint custody of the surveyor and importer, to secure the right of drawback on the exportation thereof, must be stored hereafter in the public stores hired by the collectors, except where stores have already been hired for that purpose by the surveyors, who are hereby instructed to hire no more stores for that purpose, nor to renew any leases already made. Goods on which the duties have not been paid, cannot be stored for a longer period than one year, to be computed from the date of original importation, (the day on which the vessel entered,) without being subject to sale in the manner prescribed by the first section of the act of 6th August, 1846, but this limitation of one year does not apply to goods after the duties are paid, nor to goods exempt from duty; but all goods upon which the duties have been paid either before or after the storing, and goods exempt from duty, may remain in public store for any period of time, so long as the usual storage is paid.

When goods have been deposited in the public stores, the owner or importer, on application therefor, shall be entitled to receive a certificate, (as per form 32) either for the entire importation, or for each package or parcel thereof, on payment of twenty cents for each certificate; which certificate shall be issued and signed by the collector, or by some person to be designated for that purpose by the collector, with the approbation of the Secretary of the Treasury; which person shall be entitled to receive from the importer a copy of the warehousing entry, and shall be allowed to retain out of the money received for certificates such reasonable amount as may be fixed by the collector, with the sanction of the Secretary of the Treasury, as his compensation; and the residue thereof, if any, after deducting the expense of printing, fitting up, registering and cancelling said certificates, shall be paid over to the collector, to be by him placed to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States.

When a permit has been issued for the withdrawal of goods ware

housed, the storekeeper or other officer having custody of the goods is instructed not to deliver the goods until he has ascertained that a certificate has not been issued, unless the certificate, if issued, is presented with the permit, or has been cancelled.

In addition to the quarterly report required in previous instructions, each collector is directed to furnish a quarterly statement, showing what goods have been withdrawn from the warehouses in his district for transportation to the warehouses in another district, designating in such statement the time when transported, the marks, numbers, description, and contents of each package or parcel, and the dutiable value of each, and to what port transported, arranging the statement in such manner as will exhibit the transfers to each port; also a statement showing what transfers have been made into their port from warehouses in other districts, designating the transfers from each port separately, stating the marks, numbers, value, &c., and accounting for each package received by a separate statement of the duties collected on goods so transferred, and indicating what remain in warehouse.

When goods are withdrawn from warehouse in quantities less than the entire importation, the expense of weighing, gauging, or measuring, must be paid by the owner, importer, or agent, if it be necessary to weigh, gauge, or measure such portion, in order to ascertain the dutiable value.

The warehouses shall be opened at sunrise and closed at sunset, and no fire or lights must be permitted therein.
