20 FOREIGN TRADE ZONES the shipment is not a bona fide exportation or when the department specifically directs that a landing certificate be produced. Except as otherwise provided for by law, merchandise in bulk and articles bought and sold by weight, gauge of measure must be with- drawn for export or transportation only at the actual quantities ascertained at the time of arrival in the United States. Merchandise transferred from pier to customs warehouse must be transported in bond at the expense of the parties in interest, by bonded vehicles or lighters. In authorizing the bonded manufacturing warehouses and the bonded warehouses for cleaning, sorting, repacking, and other changes in condition, exclusive of manufacturing, Congress has recognized the need for greater convenience and privileges than are permitted in the ordinary customs warehouses. The following shows briefly the principal requirements in connection with the use of these special classes of warehouses. Manufacturing warehouses.—Except for the manufacture of cigars, a bonded manufacturing warehouse consists of an entire building which is in no case adjacent to a building in which a similar business is conducted. Such warehouses are permitted to be used exclusively for the purpose for which they are bonded. Before commencing business, the proprietor of any manufacturing warehouse must file bond, which must be approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, and he must file with the department and with the Comptroller of Customs a list of all articles intended to be manufactured in such warehouse, giving the specific names under which the articles are to be exported and under which they are to be known to the trade. He must state the names of all the ingredients which are to be used in the manufacture of such articles, with the quantities of such ingredients as may be dutiable or taxable. Proprietors of such ware- houses are required to conform strictly to the formulas filed with the bond, and in no instance are permitted to manufacture in or with- draw from the warehouse articles which do not contain all of the ingredients and in the quantities specified in the formulas. Materials and articles imported for use in a bonded manufac- turing warehouse may be entered for transfer direct from the import- ing vessel to the bonded manufacturing warehouse without appraise- ment or payment of duty. Except cigars manufactured in bond, and supplies for vessels of the United States or vessels of war of any nation in ports of the United States which may reciprocate such privileges toward vessels of war of the United States in its ports, no articles or materials received into a bonded manufacturing ware- house may be withdrawn or removed therefrom except for direct shipment and exportation or for transportation and immediate exportation in bond to foreign countries or to the Philippine Islands, under the supervision of a customs officer.
