If, upon the arrival and examination of the goods, the Director is satisfied that there is no ground for their detention, the Director shall cause them to be released and re-delivered. If he is not so satisfied, he may decide to detain the goods permanently, and in the case of detention upon information from a private person he may require security from the informant, if he has not already given such security, for reimbursing the Director all expenses and damages incurred in respect of the detention made on his information and of any proceedings consequent thereon.
3. The security hereby required shall be an immediate ad valorem deposit of ten per cent on the value of the goods as fixed by the Director from the quantities or value shown by the entry; and, also, subsequently a bond to be completed within four days in double the value of the goods, with two approved sureties. The ad valorem deposit shall be returned upon completion of the bond, and shall not be required if, as an alternative where time permits, the informant prefers to give a like bond before examination upon the estimated value of the goods declared to by him under statutory declaration. If the security is not duly given as above required, the goods shall not be detained.
The notice and bond required may be in the respective forms contained in the Schedule or such other forms as the Director may, having regard to the means and time of importation of the goods or the place wherein the same are, require.
5. The security taken under these regulations shall be given up at the times following-
(a) where given before examination, and if no detention follows, forthwith;
(b) where given on or after detention-
(i) if the forfeiture is completed, either by lapse of time or ultimate condemnation by a court of justice, then on such completion of forfeiture;
