Any vessel may proceed with any merchandise brought in her, and, in the
manifest delivered to the collector of the customs, reported as destined
for any foreign port, from the district within which such vessel shall
first arrive to such foreign port without paying or securing the payment
of any duties upon such merchandise as shall be actually re-exported in
the vessel. But the manifest so declaring to re-export such merchandise
shall be delivered to such collector within forty-eight hours after the
arrival of the vessel. And the master of such vessel shall give bond as
required by the next section. (R. S., 2776.)
The master of any vessel so destined for a foreign port shall give bond,
with one or more sureties, in a sum equal to the amount of the duties
upon the merchandise, as the same shall be estimated by the collector
and naval officer of the port where the report shall be made, to the
satisfaction of the collector, with condition that the merchandise, or
any part thereof, shall not be landed within the United States, unless
due entry thereof shall have been first made and the duties thereupon
paid, according to law. Such bond shall be taken for the same period,
and canceled in like manner, as a bond given for obtaining drawback of
duties. No such bond shall be required in respect to merchandise on
board of any vessel which has put into the United States from a
necessity, shown as prescribed in section twenty-seven hundred and
seventy-three. (R. S., 2777.)
The collector receiving any bond conditioned for the payment of duties
upon merchandise reported as destined for a foreign port, in case the
same shall be landed within the United States, or any other bonds taken
upon the exportation of merchandise entitled to drawback, shall
immediately after the time when by the conditions of the same they ought
to be canceled, put the same in suit, provided the proof of the
occurrence of such a necessity as excuses a landing of such goods within
the United States has not been produced, or further time granted
therefor by the Secretary of the Treasury. (R. S., 2778.)
Inspection of merchandise laden for export.
