19 U.S.C. § 1458 — Bulk cargo, time for unlading
submitted 96 years ago by ch. 497 to r/title-19-CUSTOMS-DUTIES · 90 words · no verdicts yet
Bulk cargo on a vessel arriving for orders is not subject to the usual unloading time limit when it is consigned to one consignee. If the master asks for more than 25 days, the master or owner must reimburse customs personnel costs for the extra days.
The time limit for unloading does not apply to a vessel carrying only bulk merchandise consigned to one consignee and arriving at a port for orders. If the master asks for more time, the master or owner must reimburse the inspectors or other customs officers whose services are needed for each day beyond 25 days after the vessel’s entry.
The limitation of time for unlading shall not extend to vessels laden exclusively with merchandise in bulk consigned to one consignee and arriving at a port for orders, but if the master of such vessel requests a longer time to discharge its cargo, the compensation of the inspectors or other customs officers whose services are required in connection with the unlading shall, for every day consumed in unlading in excess of twenty-five days from the date of the vessel’s entry, be reimbursed by the master or owner of such vessel.
