Notary Public or Deputy Collector of Customs. (c) If deemed necessary, collectors of customs will refer such abstracts to the supervising customs agents for verification.

(d) If the wool or hair or their products are not manipulated or manufactured while in the possession of any bonded dealer or manipulator or manufacturer, an abstract will not be required.

Art. 498. Transfer certificates.-Wool or hair and partly manufactured wool or hair, including noils, may be transferred by one bonded dealer, manipulator, or manufacturer to another bonded dealer, manipulator, or manufacturer. Such transfer shall be made on transfer certificate, customs Form 7531-A. In cases where the bonds of both the transferor and transferee are on file in the office of a collector of customs, the transfer certificate shall be filed with that officer in duplicate. Where the bond of the transferee is on file in another customs district, the transfer certificate shall be filed in triplicate, one copy of which shall be retained by the collector at the place of filing and two copies forwarded to the collector where the bond of the transferee is on file. The collector at the second port shall acknowledge receipt of said certificate. The transferor shall not be relieved from liability under his bond until the transferred articles have become a charge against the bond of the transferee.

Art. 499. Charges against bonds and cancellation thereof.-(a) Upon the withdrawal of raw wool or hair it shall be charged against the bond of the person withdrawing it, and upon the production of the proof provided for above that the wool or hair has been finally accounted for, or upon the production of a transfer certificate, proper credit on the bond shall be given.

(b) Only one term bond shall be required from each dealer, manipulator, or manufacturer, but if wool or hair is withdrawn by him at ports other than that at which his bond is on file, a copy of the bond, certified by the collector at the port where filed, shall be on file at such other ports, and the collector at the port of withdrawal shall forward

to the collector at the port where the bond is on file a certificate, customs Form 7531, showing the particulars of importation of the wool or hair withdrawn, so that it may be charged against the bond of the party withdrawing the

same.

(c) When a transfer certificate is filed the wool or hair covered thereby shall be charged against the bond of the person to whom it is transferred.

(d) In crediting bonds with the quantity of imported wool or hair used, all wastes, except noils, whether valuable or not, shall be considered as having been used in the manufacture of the enumerated articles and due allowance shall be made therefor. Credit for the noils shall not be made unless shown to have been used in the manufacture of the enumerated articles. If not so used, duty shall be assessed thereon on the following basis: The regular duty assessable on the wool or hair in its condition as imported shall be distributed to the tops and noils according to their average relative values during the period of manufacture in which produced. The amount of duty distributed to the noils divided by the number of pounds of noils produced will give the rate of duty per pound to be applied to the noils not used in the manufacture of the enumerated articles.

(e) Any noils on which duty has been paid on the basis above outlined may be used for purposes other than the manufacture of the enumerated articles without the assessment of the additional duty of 50 cents per pound provided by paragraph 1101 (a). Noils so obtained may also be exported under customs supervision and when so exported proper credit shall be given therefor on the manufacturer's bond.

Art. 500. Wool or hair not used-Duty on.—(a) If proof is not furnished within three years from the date of entry or withdrawal from warehouse that all of the wool or hair entered or withdrawn under bond was used during such period in the manufacture of the enumerated articles in accordance with these regulations, the regular duty shall be assessed on the portion not used.

(b) If wool or hair entered or withdrawn under the provisions of paragraph 1101 (a) and these regulations is used in the manufacture of articles other than the enumerated articles there shall be assessed and collected, in addition to duties on such wool or hair 50 cents per pound; provided that no such additional duty shall be assessed on noils.
