Sec. 4.23  Certificate of payment and cash receipt.

    Upon each payment of tonnage tax or light money, the master of the 
vessel shall be given a certificate on Customs Form 1002 on which the 
control number of the cash receipt (Customs Form 368 or 368A) upon which 
payment was recorded shall be written. This certificate shall constitute 
the official evidence of such payment and shall be presented upon each 
entry during the tonnage year to establish the date of commencement of 
the tonnage year and to insure against overpayment. In the absence of 
the certificate, evidence of payment of tonnage tax shall be obtained 
from the port director to whom the payment was made.
