shown by the assay, and 10 per centum of the quantity so shown in addition thereto.

5. The storekeeper in charge of such warehouse will permit manufacturers to transfer thereto all necessary casks, barrels, or other packages required in which the refined metal is to be packed for shipment. Such refined metal, or any part thereof, may be withdrawn for consumption on payment of the duties, under article 710 of the Regulations of 1884.

6. In order to a direct exportation of such refined metal from a seaboard or frontier port, the manufacturer will file with the collector of customs an export entry, as provided in Article 776 of the said Regulations, who will issue a permit (Article 779) directing the storekeeper to deliver the goods to the surveyor to be laden for exportation on board the export vessel, car, or other vehicle. Upon the receipt of the permit, the storekeeper in charge will deliver the refined metal therein described and make due return to the collector, and upon the receipt of the return of lading from the officer in charge, and a proper bill of lading, the collector will credit the warehouse bond with the amount so exported.

7. In order to an exportation of such refined metal via some other port in the United States, the manufacturer will file with the collector of customs where the manufacturing warehouse is situated a transportation and exportation entry in triplicate in Form B and execute a bond in Form C in a penal sum equal to double the value of the goods with the duty added. The bond having been duly executed, a permit for delivery shall be issued in Form D. The collector will deliver one of the entries to the surveyor, who will designate an inspector to carefully examine the packages of metal, and if they agree in all particulars with the description in the entry, he shall make a return on Form E. The manifest shall be in triplicate and contain a description of the marks, numbers, packages, or quantities and value, by whom shipped, to whom consigned, and the route by which the merchandise is to be transported. The triplicate manifest, duly certified, together with the triplicate copy of the entry, shall be mailed to the chief officer of the customs at the port where the goods are to be transshipped for exportation. On arrival of the goods at the port of transshipment the transportation line shall deliver the manifest to the chief officer of the customs, who shall examine the packages and compare the marks and the numbers with the manifest and entry, and, if found correct, he will deliver the goods for exportation, and issue a certificate in Form F. On the receipt of this certificate the collector of customs at the port of withdrawal will cancel the export bond.

8. Upon the importation of metals in a crude form at any of the seaboard or frontier ports of the United States, which are not designated in the immediate-transportation acts as ports of entry for goods entitled to be entered for immediate transportation without appraisement, consigned to a manufacturer or owner of a bonded smelting and refining warehouse, situated at some other port of entry or delivery, the same may be entered for warehouse and transportation in the manner prescribed by Articles 751 to 757 of the General Regulations, except that the appraisement may be waived, and the entry made on the estimate of the duties, and the goods, after official ascertainment of weight, permitted to proceed to their destination, the entry to be ultimately liquidated under an appraisement, based upon samples selected in the manner above prescribed, by the appraiser at the port where such manufacturing warehouse is situated.

9. In case the operations of smelting and refining can not be carried on in a single establishment, the bonded warehouse shall be designated as a smelting warehouse, and the unrefined products, or bullion, obtained from the smelting of crude metals or ores in such warehouse may be removed therefrom for shipment to any refining works upon the payment of the duties on the quantity of crude metal or ore contained in the imported mass used in the smelting, or upon the production of a certificate from a collector of customs at a seaboard port, showing that a quantity of dutiable refined metal equal to 90 per cent. of the quantity indicated by the original assay has been actually exported by the owners of the bonded smelting warehouse or their agents.

10. Credit for the full amount of the duties charged on the imported ore or crude metal used in the production of the bullion so withdrawn and shipped for refining will be given on the warehouse bond.

11. The bond to be given on the establishment of a smelting warehouse shall be in Form A, modified by inserting therein, after the words "and shall not remove or suffer to be removed," the words "any bullion resulting from the smelting of such crude metal or ore otherwise than upon compliance with the requirements of Article 9 of these Regulations."

Weigher's fees on bags exported for drawback filled with grain.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, January 10, 1891.

SIR: Referring to your letter of the 3d ultimo, relative to the application of Messrs. Sperry & Co. for a discontinuance of the practice at your port of collecting on drawback entries of bags manufactured from imported jute and exported filled with grain the so-called weigher's fees of 3 cents per 100 pounds, under the provisions of section 3024, Revised Statutes, I have to inform you that, according to a report, dated the 24th ultimo, from the collector of customs at New York, the allegation made by the applicants as to the non-collection of such fees at that port is correct, and that, in the opinion of the Department, the statute cited has no application in the case of such bags, for the same reason as in the case of tin cans mentioned in Synopsis 2579, referred to by you, viz, that such goods when entered for drawback are not and can not be weighed; that the drawback is paid not upon the exported weight, but upon the weight of the imported material used in the manufacture, and that the exported weight is not "determined by the returns of the weigher," but by computation. You are, therefore, hereby authorized to grant the relief applied for. Respectfully yours, O. L. SPAULDING, Assistant Secretary.

COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS, San Francisco, Cal.
