Cap. 37 Art. 13Entry by bill of sight.

(1) The importer of any goods, or his agent, if unable, for want of full information, to make a perfect entry of such goods, on making and subscribing a declaration to that effect, before the Commissioner, may make an entry in respect of the packages or parcels of such goods, by bill of sight, in such form or forms as the Minister responsible for customs may by regulations prescribe, and containing the several particulars required in such form or forms.

(2) Such entry on being delivered to the Commissioner and signed by him, shall be the warrant for provisionally landing such goods to be examined by such importer or his agent in presence of the proper officials; and the importer or his agent shall, within three days or such further time as the Commissioner may allow after the landing thereof and before the same are delivered, make full and perfect entry thereof by endorsing upon such bill of sight such particulars of such goods as are herein required on making perfect entry of goods, whether for payment of duty, or for warehousing or for delivery free of duty, as the case may be, and to such endorsement he shall affix the date thereof, together with his signature and place of abode; and such endorsement when countersigned by the Commissioner shall be taken as the perfect entry for such goods.
