INSTRUCTIONS

Read carefully to avoid delay at shipping point

1. Provisions of law.-Before a clearance shall be granted for any vessel bound to a foreign port, the owners, shippers, or consignors of the cargo of such vessel shall deliver to the collector manifests (or declarations) of the cargo or the parts thereof shipped by them respectively, and shall verify the same by oath. Such manifests (or declarations) shall specify the kinds, quantities, and values of the articles and the foreign port or country of destination. (Sec. 4200, Rev. Stats. U. S.) If any vessel bound to a foreign port departs on her voyage without delivering manifest and obtaining clearance, the master or other person in charge shall be liable to a penalty of $500 for every such offense. (Sec. 4197, Rev. Stats. U. S.) Similar provisions apply to exportations by rail, vehicle, or ferry. (Sec. 1, act March 3, 1893.)

2. The shipper must prepare on this form in duplicate an export declaration for all merchandise shipped to foreign countries or to or from noncontiguous territories of the United States, except for bonded shipments in trans t through the United States from one country to another. The original declaration must be verified by oath before a customs official, notary public, or other person authorized to administer oaths, except in the case of shipments to or through Canada or Mexico by car, vehicle, or ferry, or when value is less than $100. The original declaration must be signed in all cases. If the declaration is executed by an agent for the shipper, his authority must be in writing on this declaration or other document filed with the collector. The original is for use of customs officials and will be treated as confidential.

3. Shipments originating at the seaboard.-In the case of shipments originating at the seaboard or arriving there from the interior for export, the export declaration. (original and duplicate) must be presented to the collector of customs, who will retain the original, certify the duplicate, and return the latter to the shipper for presentation to the steamship or railroad company, without which no freight will be received. The transportation company will attach the duplicate to the outward manifest filed at the customhouse when the vessel or car is cleared, noting thereon any short shipment or other discrepancy. Clearance will not be granted until export declarations have been filed with the collector.

4. Shipments from the interior.-In the case of shipments from the interior on through bills of lading, the shipper must prepare the export declaration in duplicate and deliver both copies to the carrier to accompany wayb lls to the port of exportation. The original may be placed in a sealed envelope. In the case of shipments on local bills of lading the declarations may be handed to the carrier to accompany the goods or mailed to the consignee at the seaboard. Upon arrival of the goods at the port of exportation the carrier must deliver the declaration to the collector of customs. To prevent delay at the border an export declaration should be prepared for each carload, as otherwise cars breaking down or detached in transit may arrive at port of exit without declarations.

6. Foreign articles exported.-The value of articles of foreign origin shipped out of the United States in the same condition as imported must be stated in the column of "Foreign Products." If foreign articles have undergone any process of manufacture or alteration in the United States they become United States products and must be reported as such. Thus: Sugar refined in the United States from imported raw sugar should be reported as a domestic product.
