have the right to issue such further detailed regulations, at the recommendation 
of the chief of the customs service at the free port and the management of the 
free port, or either of them, covering the occurrence of said sale, exhibition, or 
display, as do not conflict with other ordinances. 
SECTION 20. TRADE IN NAVAL STORES 
The following general provisions shall apply to the retail sale of ships’ pro 
visions and other necessities which may take place, according to the free port 
regulations, by special permission of the King, in addition to what may. be 
ordered in each special ease upon granting of such permission or on other suit- 
able occasion: The supplies contemplated above may not be sold by the dealer 
until he has been given a special order blank for them, filled out with his own 
hand by the owner or master of the vessel concerned or by the authorized agent of 
one of them. However, the dealer is not prevented, if there are no other provi- 
gions in the way, from having imported goods passed through the customs in the 
ordinary way and taken to his storehouse after this is done. The order blanks 
must contain both a sworn statement by the person filling them out that the 
goods are intended for use on the ship and that they will not be removed from 
it to a vessel within the boundaries of the Kingdom or its territory without 
customs duties being paid by such tradesman as sells or otherwise uses in his 
business goods of the same or a similar kind, and an acknowledgment of re- 
ceipt of the goods signed by the person filling out the blank. The dealeristo see 
to it that the goods issued upon presentation of the order blanks are properly 
taken on board and taken charge of there by the right person. He must 
keep strict account of the goods taken into his store and delivered from it, in 
the manner that the chief of the customs service at the free port sees fit to pre- 
scribe after consultation with the management of the free port; accounting for 
guch goods brought in or taken out must be done without delay and backed 
up by invoices and, if this can be done, by freight or other similar bills, and 
likewise by the order blanks mentioned above or, in case of passing through 
the customs for the account of the dealer himself, by the bills or permits issued 
by the customs authorities. The chief of the customs service at the free port 
and the manager of the free port shall have the right to examine such books 
at any time, either in person or through a competent subordinate, and likewise 
to have an inventory made of any of the goods in question that remain on the 
spot, during which the necessary assistance must be given by the dealer without 
charge. When a shortage is found upon such inspection and it is proved that 
the cause thereof can not be attributed solely to the nature of the goods, the 
dealer shall be obliged, upon order of the chief of the customs service at the 
free port or that of the general customs service, in case of dispute, to pay im- 
mediately to the cashier of the customs service the customs and other fees which 
would be due for importing the missing goods into the Kingdom through the 
customs. The dealer shall be obliged to heed the limitations of the right of sale 
which the chief of the free port customs service may find it necessary to order 
in consultation with the management of the free port, in special cases to avoid 
evident abuse of the provisions on the right of sale and consumption of ships’ 
supplies within the free port contained in the free port regulations; and the 
dealer shall be liable to the consequences stated in sections 21 and 22 of the 
regulations on free ports, in so far as they apply, in case of failure to fulfill the 
obligations devolving upon him according to this section.
