Cap. 41 Art. 48Shipping or clearing for consumption of spirits without bonding.

If, on the arrival of any spirits at a spirit warehouse, the owner of such spirits desires to export the same forthwith, or to pay duty thereon for consumption in Malta without actually warehousing the same in the warehouse for which they had been entered and examined, the officer in charge of such warehouse may, after all the formalities of entering and examining such spirits for warehousing have been complied with, permit such spirits to be entered and shipped for exportation or to be entered and delivered for consumption in Malta, on payment of the duty payable thereon, as if such spirits had been actually warehoused in the warehouse; and all spirits so exported, or for which the duty has been so paid, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have been duly cleared from the warehouse.
