VERACRUZ. 
(From United States Consul Canada, Veracruz, Mexico.) 
Veracruz has no -bonded warehouses. A company was organized 
several years ago for the express purpose of erecting and operating 
bonded warehouses at this port, and this company is now doing busi 
ness at Mexico City. It is more than likely that it will inaugurate the 
system at Veracruz in the near future. 
All merchandise imported into this country must enter the customs 
warehouses and, if after the expiration of ten days the goods have not 
been removed by the consignee, storage will be charged. Goods may 
remain in storage for a period not exceeding six months; if at the 
expiration of that time they have not been removed, they are sold 
at public auction to the highest bidder. 
The charges for storage are as follows: For each 100 kilograms 
(220.46 pounds) in weight, per day, for the first month, 2 cents; for 
the second month, 3 cents; for the third month, 4 cents; and for the 
fourth, fifth, and sixth months, 5 cents, Mexican currency.“ The 
usual charges for unloading vessels, either at the pier or at anchor in 
the harbor, are from $2.25 to $2.75, Mexican currency, per 1,000 kilo 
grams (2,204.6 pounds). 
When a vessel is discharged at either one of the several railroad 
wharves the charges are from 50 cents to $20, Mexican, per piece or 
package of freight, according to the size and weight, at the option of 
the railroad companies. 
The appended extract from the new Mexican Customs Regulations 
is taken from a translation of the original that was published in the 
Mexican Herald from time to time, arid is the part of the aforesaid 
regulations in which special reference is made to bonded warehouses.
