Should differences exist between the gross weight of the packages described in the certificates and that arrived at on clearance. if such differences do not exceed a maximum of 20 per cent. beyond or short of what is stated on the certificates, the said documents will be admitted as effective; but they will be considered null when the differences are in excess of that rate, the duties in the first column of the Tariff being in such case applied to the merchandize.
Certificates issued in one country for the produce of another will likewise be considered null.
Merchandize from a Treaty nation destined for Spain and accompanied by the necessary certificate of origin, which may pass through another country also enjoying Treaty privileges, needs no justifica- tion for such transit; but when the transit takes place through a country having no Treaty the goods must be identified by a special certificate issued by the Spanish Consul or the foreign Custom-house of the locality.
Merchandize belonging to Treaty nations, and coming from them, will enjoy Treaty privileges, even if the vessels conveying it touch during their voyage at ports belonging to nations without a Treaty, engage in commercial operations there, or transfer to other bottoms the cargo destined for Spain.
To this effect merchandize must come consigned to Spain in the manifest prepared in the port of loading of the Treaty nation concerned. If afterwards it be transferred to another bottom, the Spanish Consul at the place, after taking cognizance of the proper documents, must enter on the manifest then prepared that the merchandize was loaded in a country having a Treaty, and is destined for Spain.
In addition to these formalities the certificate of origin must be exhibited, should the goods be such as to need one.
All articles, even if their origin be a country without Treaty, which have undergone, owing to industrial processes in one with which a Treaty exists, such transformation or manipulation as may raise their value, will enjoy the benefits extended to Treaty nations.
In order that merchandize requiring a certificate and intended for deposit may pay duty under the second column of the Tariff, the said document must be presented at the moment of clearance for consumption,
