240 FOREIGN TRADE ZONES ART. 23. The responsibility of the chamber of commerce begins from the moment in which the merchandise is deposited in the warehouses directly operated by it and ends when the merchandise is withdrawn by the owner or his representative. INSPECTION OF MERCHANDISE ART. 24. Nobody except the depositors or their representatives are admitted to inspect the merchandise, to open or alter the packages, to make surveys, to take samples, or in any way to manipulate it. Those who in performing the above operations need the assistance of third parties must make a special written appli- cation to the inspector of the zone. All communications, however, made 0 persons known to be employed by the depositors or their shippers shall be con- gidered as made directly to the despositor himself. ART. 25. In case of transfer of the ownership of the stored merchandise the certificate of deposit shall have to be returned, and the accumulated storage dues shall have to be paid. A new certificate of deposit will then be issued under the name of the new owner. However, as regards the beginning of the running of the storage dues and the application of extra charges, the original date of intro- duction of the goods shall always be considered as original date for all dues. ART. 26. In case of loss of the certificate of deposit no withdrawal of goods will be permitted until a new certificate be issued and the payment of storage dues affected. The counterfoil of the lost certificate will be canceled by the inspector and the notation made on it will have to be signed also by the despoitor. ART. 27. All goods stored in the name of the same depositor are a guaranty with priority over anybody else or anything else for payment of the storage and demurrage dues, and other eventual expenditures mentioned in article 27 will have been paid. However, if the merchandise is withdrawn in portions at several times the total dues will have to be paid when the last part is withdrawn, provided the value of the last portion of the merchandise be sufficient, according to the sole judgment of the chamber of commerce, to cover the whole amount due. The receipt for the payment will always be made in the name of the depositor and only one receipt will be issued even if the withdrawal of the merchandise was made at separate times. ART. 29. At the end of every year all matured dues for the stored goods must be paid even if they continue to remain stored in the same warehouse. No merchandise whatever will be delivered to the depositor who does nob comply with the above and without prejudice of legal proceedings in order t0 anforce payment of the matured dues. The certificate of deposit existing at the date of December 31 must be presented for renewal to the inspector’s office before the 15th of January. No delivery will be made after the latter date to those who do not comply with this rule. ART. 80. Goods stored in private warehouses or in warehouses sublet by the chamber of commerce are stored for account and risk of the despositors. PRIVATELY OPERATED WAREHOUSES ArT. 31. Anyone intending to operate a privately owned warehouse musb make an application, eventually signed also by the owner of the warehouse or by his legal representative, to the chamber of commerce. . The lessee must inform the chamber of commerce of all changes in the ownershiP of the premises which may occur during the lease. When the lessee wishes to give up the operating of the warehouse he mus? return the permit to the chamber of commerce, making on it a special notatio? to that effect.
