Cap. 37 Art. 45Security for the exportation of goods.

Before any warehoused dutiable goods, or goods entitled to any drawback of customs on exportation, or goods exportable only under particular rules, regulations or restrictions, are permitted to be exported, the exporter or his agent shall deliver to the Commissioner a shipping bill, and give such security by bond as the Commissioner may require, not exceeding double the amount of the duty leviable on such goods, that such goods shall be duly shipped and exported and, if the Commissioner so requires, that the goods shall be landed at the place for which they are entered outwards, within such time as the Commissioner may deem reasonable, or be otherwise accounted for to his satisfaction; and such shipping bill, when certified by the proper officials of customs, shall be the export entry for the goods enumerated therein: Provided that any person who desires to export any such goods, may, at his option, but subject to such regulations as may be made by the Minister responsible for customs under this Ordinance, give a general bond, with such security, in such amount and under such conditions as the

Commissioner may require, in lieu of a separate bond for each exportation, first delivering in each case to the proper official a notice in such form as the Commissioner may prescribe, containing an account of the particular goods to be exported by him under such general bond in any particular vessel.
