D. 40155. than the port of entry, the bond may be canceled upon the certificate of lading received from the port of exportation, showing that such exportation was made within the bonded period.

Such landing certificates are required, in addition to the returns of the appraiser and lading inspector showing identification and lading under customs supervision. Landing certificates need not, however, be required for articles which do not exceed $100 in value, unless the collector shall have reason to believe, in any particular case, that the apparent outward shipment of the articles was not a bona fide exportation.

(e) Should the articles be not exported or destroyed in accordance with these regulations within the 6-months' period or within any lawful extension thereof, the entry should be liquidated as dutiable in accordance with the value of the articles at the time of importation and the duties found due collected.
