14 FOREIGN TRADE ZONES clearance and bills of health issued at the foreign port or ports from which it arrived; the pratique issued by the United States Public Health Service on Form 1940; and pay the tonnage tax, prescribed fees, and incurred penalties. The master is also required to account for the ship’s crew by sworn indorsement on the crew list, The master of a foreign vessel arriving within the limits of a customs collection district, must, within 48 hours thereafter, make entry at the customhouse in the same manner as is required for the entry of a vessel of the United States, except that a list of the crew need not be delivered, and that instead of depositing the register or document in lieu thereof he exhibits it to the customs officer on or before the entry of the vessel. After the net tonnage has been noted by the customs officer, the master may deliver the register to the consul of the country to which the vessel belongs, and file a certificate of such deposit at the customhouse. This exception will not apply to vessels of foreign nations in whose ports American consular officers are not permitted to have the custody of the register and other papers of the vessels entering the ports of such nations. It is unlawful for any foreign consul to deliver to the master of a foreign vessel the register, or document in lieu thereof, deposited with him until the master produces to him a clearance in due form from the collector of the port where the vessel has been entered. Any violation of this pro- vision must be reported to the department. Landing and delivery of cargo.—Entry of the vessel having been made, the necessary permit for its discharge is issued by the collector; discharging inspectors are assigned to superintend unloading and delivery of cargo and customs guards are posted. Discharging inspectors must take possession of specie and valuables in charge of pursers as soon as possible after they first board the vessel. The legal time allowed for unloading by customs regulations is 10 working days after entry for vessels of less than 500 tons ; 15 working days for vessels of 500 tons and less than 1,000 tons; 20 working days for vessels of 1,000 tons and less than 1,500 tons; and 25 days for vessels of 1,500 tons and upward. If additional discharge time is required an extension not to exceed 15 days will be allowed by the collector; but inspector’s compensation for attendance after legal time must be paid by the vessel. “Working days” do not include the day of entry, legal holidays, or stormy days when discharge would endanger the cargo’s safety. Unloading between 6 P- m. of any day and 7 a. m. of the following day will be allowed only under authority of a permit issued by the collector when the nature of the cargo or conditions at the pier are such that it will not jeopardize customs revenue. Similar permits are required for unloading or loading on Sundays and holi- days. Cargo remaining on board after the expiration of legal time or additional period of 15 days which is not recorded for transshipment
