2. That on making entry at the custom house of all tea or merchandise
described as tea imported into the United States, the importer or
consignee shall give a bond to the collector of the port that such
merchandise shall not be removed from warehouse until released by the
custom house authorities, who shall examine it with reference to its
purity and fitness for consumption; and that for the purpose of such
examination samples of each line in every invoice shall be submitted
by the importer or consignee to the examiner, with his written
statement that such samples represent the true quality of each and
every part of the invoice, and accord with the specification therein
contained; and in case the examiner has reason to believe that such
samples do not represent the true quality of the invoice, he shall
make such further examination of the tea represented by the invoice,
or any part thereof, as shall be necessary: Provided, That such
further examination of such tea shall be made within three days after
entry thereof has been made at the custom house: And provided further,
That the bond above required shall also be conditioned for the payment
of all custom house charges which may attach to such merchandise
prior to being released or destroyed (as the case may be) under the
provisions of this Act.
3. That if, after an examination, as provided in section two, the tea
is found by the examiner not to come within the prohibition of this
Act, a permit shall at once be granted to the importer or consignee
declaring the tea free from the control of the custom 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 this Act, the importer or consignee shall be immediately notified,
and the tea, or merchandise described as tea, so returned shall not be
released by the custom house, unless on a re-examination called for by
the importer or consignee, the return of the examiner shall be found
erroneous: Provided, That should a portion of the invoice be passed
by the examiner, a permit shall be granted for that portion, and the
remainder held for further examination, as provided in section four.
