Section 366
SEC. 366. Whenever the collector shall be duly notified in writing of a lien for freight or lighterage upon any imported merchandise in his custody, he shall refuse the delivery of such merchandise until satisfied that the freight or lighterage thereon has been paid or secured. The rights of the Government shall not be impaired, nor shall it be liable for any losses incurred by such refusal. Freight or lighterage liens shall be paid from the proceeds of any sale of seized or unclaimed merchandise made by the collector, after the demands of the Government have been satisfied, in the same milliner as other charges and expenses are paid which are authorized by law. If the amount of freight or lighterage depends upon the quantity or weight of the merchandise imported, and there is a disagreement between parties filing the lien and the importer as to the sum due, the collector may deliver the merchandise upon payment of the freight or lighterage due on the quantity or weight actually landed, is shown by the returns of the proper officer or otherwise to his satisfaction.
