the consignees will present to the custom-house, along with the ordinary peti 
tions for clearance, an application in triplicate, as shown by model No. 40. If 
the merchandise is destined for the general bonded warehouses, the application 
must bear at the foot thereof, or embodied in a document attached thereto, a 
properly attested statement to the effect that the concessionaire company is 
willing to have the goods deposited in its warehouses. 
The custom-house will compare the clearance petition with the manifest and 
with the consular invoices, as in cases of ordinary importation, and when the 
custom-house collector has granted permission for the warehousing of the 
goods, the inspector whom said collector may designate to examine same will 
effect said examination as usual, and when it has once been effected the 
methods of procedure indicated in the following articles will be pursued accord 
ing to the nature of the case. 
The permits for the admittance of goods to fiscal deposit will be numbered 
specially and progressively by fiscal years. 
Art. 407. When the application refers to all the goods declared in an ordinary 
clearance petition, it will suffice in said application to mention the latter docu 
ment, which will serve for effecting the operations of deposit, and the applica 
tion must be accompanied by a copy of the list of packages ; but when it is 
desired to warehouse only a portion of the goods covered by a clearance peti 
tion, the application must contain, as shown by model 41, an exact copy of the 
several specifications of the petition, and must be presented along with three 
copies of the list of packages. 
Art. 408. In case of the former alternative mentioned in the foregoing article, 
the custom-house will attach to each copy of the application one copy of the clear 
ance petition, and when permission for the warehousing of the goods has been 
given, the collector will turn over the petition to the inspector that he may 
examine the goods, if he has not examined them already, and may transmit the 
permit to the warden of the customs warehouses, who will enter on the lists 
of packages the number and date of the permit for the warehousing of the goods. 
In the case of the second alternative the custom-house will compare the copies 
of the application for deposit with the copies of the clearance petition, accord 
ing to which the ordinary examination of the goods was effected, just as if the 
latter document were a consular invoice perfected through the result of clear 
ance, and will mark on the copies of the petition the goods that are to enter into 
fiscal deposit, stating, in addition to that circumstance, the number and date 
°f the warehousing permit. 
Art. 409. When the requirements mentioned in the foregoing article have 
once been complied with, the custom-house collector will designate in writing 
°n the application the inspector who first examined the goods to supervise the 
warehousing thereof, and to him will be delivered the application with the new 
lists of packages. If no incident calling for an amplification of the examination 
shall have occurred, the inspector will write on the application the words 
“ Reconocido con pedimento de importación No. —,” and in case there exists 
any reason for amplifying the examination of the goods he will mark on the 
application the packages as to which that operation is effected ; and on the new 
lists of packages, provided that he has no further observations to make, be will 
engross the words, “ Entregúese para el depósito.” He will then forward the 
lists of packages to the warden of the customs warehouses, in order that tin; 
goods may be delivered up, and he will return the permit to the accounting 
department. 
Art 410. Goods cleared for warehousing purposes must not undergo any 
change or alteration, but will be kept in the same state and condition in which 
they arrived. Only in the event of its being necessary, on account of the 
deterioration of the cases in which the goods are put up, to transfer them to 
°ther cases for their better preservation, can such an operation be authorized, 
subject to the vigilance of the custom-house, which will take care that the con 
tents of none of the packages undergoes modification, and that the new cases 
employed to put up the goods are marked and numbered the same as the former 
cues. 
When packages are without marks for their identification, the consignee will 
engross and number them in a special manner prior to their being warehoused, 
so that there may never be confusion among them. It will also be necessary 
to put a different number on each package when the packages contain different 
goods, or the same goods, but in varying quantities; and it will only be permis 
sible to put the same number on the packages constituting a lot when all said 
Packages contain exactly the same kind and quantity of goods.
