ascertained  that  the  money  owing  to  the  exchequer  on  the  goods  has  been  paid,
will  authorize  their  delivery  by  inditing  a  note  to  that  effect  at  the  foot  of  the
lists  of  packages  which  were  used  by  the  warehouse  guard  for  lhe  removei  of  the
goods,  and  said  guard  will  turn  the  list  over  to  the  fiscal  employee  encharged
with  the  custody  of  the  goods.  The  fiscal  employee  will  make  out  a  receipt  on
the  same  lists  and  will  accompany  the  goods  until  they  are  put  on  board  the
ship  or  train  on  which  they  are  to  be  transported  out  of  the  country;  hut  if  the
reexportation  takes  place  through  another  custom-house,  the  removal  of  the
goods  to  the  train  which  is  to  convey  them  will  he  effected  with  the  formalities
prescribed  by  article  415  in  so  far  as  they  are  applicable.
In  this  ease  one  of  the  lists  of  packages  will  be  made  use  of  by  the  fiscal
employee  for  the  custody  of  the  goods,  and  when  the  latter  have  been  put  on
board  the  train  and  the  box  car  or  compartment  containing  them  has  been
secured  with  fiscal  padlocks,  the  employee  will  make  a  note  on  the  list  of  the
number  of  the  box  car,  the  number  of  the  fiscal  padlocks,  the  combination
number  marked  by  the  latter  on  closing,  also  stating  whether  the  packages  are
bound  round  and  sealed,  and  the  employee  will  then  return  the  list  to  the  warehouse ­
  guard,  while  immediately  reporting  the  aforesaid  data  to  the  customhouse. ­

Art.  430.  The  forwarding  custom  house  will  send  by  mail  in  a  registered  package ­

which  the  carrier  company  may  have  extended  to  the  first-named  custom-house
to  the  consignment  of  the  second.
In  case  the  custom-house,  considering  it  expedient,  should  send  a  fiscal
employee  to  have  charge  of  the  goods  during  their  transportation  to  the  point  of
departure,  said  employee  will  take  with  him  in  a  closed  packet  the  aforementioned ­
  documents,  with  the  exception  of  the  list  of  packages,  which  he
will  take  in  an  open  packet,  in  order  to  be  able  to  make  use  of  it,  if  necessary,
during  the  trip.
Art.  431.  Upon  the  arrival  of  the  goods  at  the  custom-house  of  departure,
if  the  box  cars  and  fiscal  padlocks  are  found  to  be  in  good  condition,  the  marks
and  serial  numbers  of  the  packages  will  be  revised,  and  if  they  are  found  to
be  all  right  the  packages  will  be  shipped  under  the  supervision  of  the  customhouse ­
  guards;  but  if  the  train  or  ship  by  which  they  are  to  be  taken  out  of  the
country  is  not  ready  to  be  loaded  the  goods  will  remain  in  the  sealed  box  cars
until  the  shipment  can  take  place;  only  if  the  packages  are  bound  round  and
sealed  can  they  be  deposited  in  the  custom-house.
The,  custom-house  receiving  the  goods  will  notify  the  forwarding  customhouse ­
  of  the  arrival  and  shipment  of  the  goods  ;  also  returning  to  it  the  copy  of
the  petition  of  reexportation  with  the  annotation  “  Cumplido  ”  and  other  pertinent ­
  data.
Art.  432.  If,  from  the  examination  made,  it  shall  appear  that  the  packages
have  been  tampered  with,  the  steps  laid  down  by  Chapter  XIII  of  these  ordinances ­
  will  be  taken,  and  if  the  examination  reveals  differences  in  the  kind  of
quantity  of  goods,  said  goods  will  be  subject  to  the  provisions  of  article  413,
and  the  carrier  company  will  be  liable  according  to  the  facts.
Art.  433.  When  the  reexportation  of  goods  sent  to  a  custom-house  for  that
purpose  is  not  effected  within  thirty  days  following  the  expiration  of  the  period
of  one  year,  fixed  as  the  minimum  duration  of  the  fiscal  deposit,  and  the  department ­
  of  finance  has  not  extended  that  period,  the  permit  will  be  annulled  and
the  steps  taken  in  article  397  will  be  taken.
Art.  434.  If  the  reexportation  of  goods  in  fiscal  deposit  is  to  take  place
through  a  point  other  than  that  where  they  have  been  warehoused,  and  the
consignee  finds  it  impossible  to  designate  in  his  application  the  train  or  ship
by  which  they  are  to  leave  the  country,  the  interested  party  will  be  allowed,
after  the  arrival  of  the  goods  at  the  point  of  departure,  there  to  present  his
request  for  permission  to  ship,  with  the  understanding  that,  if  after  the  lapse
of  a  fortnight  from  the  arrival  of  the  goods  they  shall  not  have  been  shipped
for  purposes  of  reexportation,  they  will  begin  to  be  subject  to  the  storage  due
provided  by  article  153,  until  they  are  shipped  or  until  the  period  marked  by
article  433  shall  have  run.
Art.  435.  When,  for  the  transportation  of  goods  in  fiscal  deposit,  it  proves
necessary  to  utilize  various  lines  belonging  to  different  companies,  the  company
to  which  the  goods  are  delivered  will  be  the  one  to  assume  the  responsibility
provided  by  law  for  the  entire  route.  If  the  transportation  of  the  goods  under
