108 FOREIGN TRADE ZONES

The lessees of buildings for carrying on retail commerce and for industrial
purposes and who may have been subject to certain restrictions at the time the
contract was made in regard to their business in the free port, whether such
restriction applies to the class of merchandise or to the way in which the same
should be disposed of, are for this reason compelled to submit to the regulations
for control which the company may adopt for the purpose of carrying out the
conditions of these contracts. It is especially provided for that the retail merchants
 can only sell those articles which are exclusively used for the provisioning
of vessels, and upon a request therefor having been received from the shipowner
or his representative. This request, on which the receipt of the article must
appear, will be filed in the books of the retail merchant.
The lessees can have work carried on in the quarters leased to them by their
own workmen who must be provided with identification plates, which the company
 will furnish. When a workman stops working for one of these lessees
he must deliver his identification plate to the lessee who will return same to
the company.
13. No quarters or lots, or any parts thereof, can be subleased without previous
written consent of the company.
14. The lessees can not use within the free port any other lights or motor
power except that furnished by the company at a fixed rate.
15. The company may refuse to receive articles for storage whenever there is
sufficient cause for such refusal.
16. The company has the right to verify by reweighing the weight of any
merchandise as declared in the documents. In case any merchandise has been
declared at less than its weight the company will be entitled to receive the fees
for the undeclared weight plus the expenses which the reweighing may have
occasioned.
The company has also the right to open any packages or containers to verify
whether the articles have been correctly declared. If the declaration of the
contents appears to have been correct the company will have to bear any expense
 connected with the opening of the packages. On the other hand, if the
declaration of the contents was incorrect the interested party will have to bear
such expenses.
17. For any merchandise placed in storage the company will issue at the
request of the interested party and subject to the payment of the stamp tax,
either a certificate of deposit and guaranty, as provided for in law No. 34 of
March 30, 1894, or a certificate of receipt. Such certificate will be made out
in accordance with the forms annexed thereto.
18. At the request of the interested party the company must state in these
certificates of deposit the amount of the expenses to which they will be subject
during the period indicated in the certificate, as they will appear from the books
of the company.
19. When such certificate of deposit has been issued for a lot of merchandise
they may be later on returned with their respective receipts and new certificates
 may be demanded on the payment of the fee of 50 ore.
When partial certificates are desired corresponding to a fraction of a lot of
merchandise and for which certificates have already been issued, these certificates
 may also be extended upon the payment of a fee of 50 ére for each new
certificate, and upon condition that the older certificates be returned, together
with their respective receipts.
20. The company has the right to have at its own incentive and at the expense
of the interested party carried on such work as may be necessary for the preservation
 of the stores of merchandise.
