The Secretary of the Treasury must create the forms — entries, oaths, bonds, and other papers — and the rules used to collect import duties and manage bonded warehouses. The Secretary also gives customs officers directions for carrying out these import laws properly.

This section gives the Secretary of the Treasury rulemaking and form-making authority over customs administration. The Secretary must prescribe forms of entries, oaths, bonds, and other papers, along with rules and regulations, not inconsistent with law, to be used in carrying out laws about raising revenue from imports, duties on imports, or warehousing of imported goods. The Secretary must also give customs officers the directions they need, and prescribe the rules and forms they must follow, so the law is properly carried out.
