A special per- mit authorizing the immediate landing and delivery of animals, automobiles, theatrical effects, periodicals, tropical fruits, perishable and other articles requiring immediate delivery may be issued prior to the arrival of the importing vessel upon application by the importer and the deposit with the collector of a sum equal to double the esti- mated duties, the collector giving early notice to the appraiser who will promptly detail an officer to examine and appraise the mer- chandise.
