1054 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH NOVEMBER, 1896.
Upon their arrival in port, masters have to give up a manifest of the cargo and another manifest of the provisions on board. This latter manifest should contain everything not included in the former, such as provisions, private goods, etc.
Masters cannot refuse to receive on board the officers of the Custom house and must open cabins, lockers, etc. so that a search can be made.
Masters, who have on board, when arriving in port, cargo, private or other goods, not included in either of the two manifests, should declare same immediately to the visiting Customs officers; they will not be obliged to pay duty on such goods, which they may re-export if they wish, but the existence of such articles must be declared.
Goods bound for a foreign port, which have been declared, will immediately be placed under seal, or deposited in the warehouse of the Custom house until the ship's departure.
If a Custom house officer should find goods, provisions, etc. on board, not included in the mani-“ fests and which have not been declared, such goods will be seized to the prejudice of the captain, who, besides, will be liable to a fine, excepting his recourse against a third party. If the goods in question be contraband, the Captain may even be placed under arrest.
Masters should prevent all unloading or transhipment unless with the permission of the Custom's authorities, from the moment of having entered within a distance of twenty kilometers of the coast.
In a foreign port, masters should not load or permit to be loaded goods, of which the entry in this colony is prohibited. If such goods were taken on board without their knowledge, they should assure themselves, while under way, of the existence of such goods and not omit to declare same to the Custom house upon arrival; they would be seriously compromised by not doing so.
