Section 96
SEC. 96. If merchandise be brought into the Philippine Islands in a vessel from a foreign port and specified in a manifest at the first port of arrival as destined for other collection districts of the Philippine Archipelago, the importing vessel may proceed with the same from district to district in order to the landing or delivery thereof, the duties on such goods only as are landed or delivered in any district to be paid or secured in such district. The collector may, in his discretion, require a bond in a sum equal to the amount of duties upon such merchandise, conditioned that said merchandise shall be landed and entered at the ports of destination as shown by the manifest and duties thereon paid, or secured to be paid, which bond may be taken for a reasonable time, not exceeding six months, to be fixed by the collector, and canceled in the same manner as a bond taken on exportation of merchandise from warehouse. Before such vessel shall so depart, if the departure be not within forty-eight hours after arrival, the master, consignee, or agent is required to obtain from the collector a certified copy of the report and manifest, or manifests, on which must be indorsed a statement of the quantity and particulars of the goods landed within his collection district, or of the goods remaining on board upon which duties are to be paid or secured in some other district, and also obtain a permit to proceed to the other collection district to finish unlading.
