9. That whenever any manufacturer of oleomargarine sells, or removes
for sale or consumption, any oleomargarine upon which the tax is
required to be paid by stamps, without the use of the proper stamps,
it shall be the duty of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, within
a period of not more than two years after such sale or removal, upon
satisfactory proof, to estimate the amount of tax which has been
omitted to be paid, and to make an assessment therefor and certify the
same to the collector. The tax so assessed shall be in addition to the
penalties imposed by law for such sale or removal.
10. That all oleomargarine imported from foreign countries shall,
in addition to any import duty imposed on the same, pay an internal
revenue tax of 15 cents per pound, such tax to be represented by
coupon stamps as in the case of oleomargarine manufactured in the
United States. The stamps shall be affixed and cancelled by the owner
or importer of the oleomargarine while it is in the custody of the
proper custom-house officers; and the oleomargarine shall not pass out
of the custody of said officers until the stamps have been so affixed
and cancelled, but shall be put up in wooden packages, each containing
not less than ten pounds; as prescribed in this Act for oleomargarine
manufactured in the United States, before the stamps are affixed;
and the owner or importer of such oleomargarine shall be liable to
all the penal provisions of this Act prescribed for manufacturers
of oleomargarine manufactured in the United States. Whenever it is
necessary to take any oleomargarine so imported to any place other
than the public stores of the United States for the purpose of
affixing and cancelling such stamps, the Collector of Customs of the
port where such oleomargarine is entered, shall designate a bonded
warehouse to which it shall be taken, under the control of such
customs officer as such collector shall direct; and every officer of
customs who permits such oleomargarine to pass out of his custody or
control without compliance by the owner or importer thereof with the
provisions of this section relating thereto, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanour, and shall be fined not less than one thousand dollars
nor more than five thousand dollars, and imprisoned not less than six
months nor more than three years. Every person who sells or offers
for sale any imported oleomargarine, or oleomargarine purporting or
claimed to have been imported, not put up in packages and stamped
as provided by this Act, shall be fined not less than five hundred
dollars nor more than five thousand dollars, and be imprisoned not
less than six months nor more than two years.
11. That every person who knowingly purchases or receives for sale any
oleomargarine which has not been branded or stamped according to law,
shall be liable to a penalty of fifty dollars for each such offence.
