T. D. 7583.

Art. 688. Form of entry-Time.-Merchandise may be withdrawn from warehouse for transportation to another customs district by the importer or transferee on Customs Form 7521, which shall be signed and filed in triplicate at any time within three years from the date of original importation.

Such withdrawals will not be permitted until the liquidated duties have been ascertained, except by direction of the Secretary of the Treasury. Additional duties accruing upon warehouse entries incurred by reason of advance in value by the appraiser must be paid before any withdrawal shall be allowed.

Art. 689. Value, weight, gauge, or measure-Samples.Withdrawals for transportation in bond shall show the value and the weight, gauge, or measure, as the case may be, of the individual packages, and the liquidated duty, and be recorded in the warehouse ledger. No invoice or extract from the original invoice will be required. The duty on samples withdrawn from the packages transported will be collected at the original port and a notation thereof made on the transportation entry.

Art. 690. Permit to ship.-Upon a bond being given, on Customs Form 3765, in double the estimated duties, but not less than $100, a permit on Customs Form 3769 will be issued directing the storekeeper to deliver the goods for shipment.

Art. 691. Disposition of entries Inspection and lading.— Upon the completion of the withdrawal for transportation one copy of the entry will be immediately mailed to the collector at destination. One copy will be sent to the shipping inspector, with directions to supervise and report the lading of the merchandise and return the copy of the withdrawal entry for the collector's files. At naval office ports the third copy of the entry will be filed by the naval officer, and at nonnaval office ports such copy will be forwarded to the Auditor for the Treasury Department.

When the merchandise so withdrawn is destined to a naval office port an additional copy of the entry will be required and mailed to the naval officer of such port.

Art. 692. Procedure at destination.-The time within which merchandise under warehouse withdrawal for

transportation must be delivered at the port of destination is 60 days, and if any such merchandise be not delivered to the collector within 60 days after the receipt by him of the mail copy of the withdrawal entry he shall report the matter to the collector of customs at the port of withdrawal, as in other cases of the nonarrival of bonded merchandise.

If the consignee refuses or neglects to make entry of the goods within 48 hours after the arrival at destination the same will be treated as unclaimed and the collector at the port of withdrawal notified, in order that he may inform the principal and sureties on the transportation bond to protect their interests.

WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWALS FOR TRANSPORTATION
AND EXPORTATION.

Art. 693. Procedure.-Merchandise may be withdrawn from warehouse for immediate transportation and exportation to contiguous or noncontiguous foreign territory.

Upon the receipt of the inspector's report of lading the collector of customs will issue a certificate of lading on Customs Form 3785, and transmit it to the collector of customs at the port of withdrawal.
