                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
 
  CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 4--VESSELS IN FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC TRADES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 4.11  Sealing of stores.

    Upon the arrival of a vessel from a foreign port, or a vessel 
engaged in the foreign trade from a domestic port, sea stores and ship's 
stores not required for immediate use or consumption on board while the 
vessel is in port and articles acquired abroad by officers and members 
of the crew, for which no permit to land has been issued, shall be 
placed under seal, unless the Customs officer is of the opinion that the 
circumstances do not require such action. Customs inspectors in charge 
of the vessel, from time to time, as in their judgment the necessity of 
the case requires, may issue stores from under seal for consumption on 
board the vessel by its passengers and crew. (See Sec. 4.39.)
