This law lets the Treasury Secretary allow bonded warehouses for imported garbanzo beans. There, garbanzo can be stored, cleaned, or repacked, but never manufactured. Garbanzo leaves tax-free if exported, or with duty paid if sold domestically.

This law lets the Secretary of the Treasury set rules allowing bonded warehouses to be built for imported Mexican peas — commonly called garbanzo. In these warehouses, garbanzo may be stored, cleaned, repacked, or otherwise changed in condition. But it cannot be manufactured into something else. Garbanzo can be taken out of the warehouse for export without paying any duty on it. All or part of the imported garbanzo — plus any waste or byproducts left over from cleaning or otherwise treating it — can also be taken out for use inside the United States. To do that, whoever withdraws it must pay the duty the law charges on that quantity of garbanzo, based on its condition when it was imported. Customs officers and storekeepers who supervise these warehouses get paid from money the warehouse's owner advances. That money is kept in a special account and used only for that supervision. The warehouse owner must pay all the expenses this supervision involves.

Under such regulations and conditions as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, bonded warehouses may be established in which imported Mexican peas, commonly called garbanzo may be stored, cleaned, repacked or otherwise changed in condition, but not manufactured, and withdrawn for exportation without the payment of duty thereon. The whole or any part of such imported garbanzo, and the waste material and by-products incident to cleaning or otherwise treating said imported garbanzo, may be withdrawn for domestic consumption upon the payment on the quantity so withdrawn of the duty imposed by law on such garbanzo in their condition as imported. The compensation of customs officers and storekeepers for all services in the supervision of such warehouses shall be paid from moneys advanced by the warehouse proprietor to the appropriate customs officer and be carried in a special account and disbursed for such purposes, and all expenses incurred shall be paid by the warehouse proprietor.
