    (a) On each withdrawal. Each withdrawal filed shall have indicated 

thereon, preferably in the lower part of the left-hand margin if there

statement of the account to which it is related. The statement shall 

indicate:

    (1) The quantity (i.e., the number of outer containers, or tons, 

etc.) in the warehouse account before the withdrawal;

    (2) The quantity being withdrawn; and

    (3) The quantity remaining in warehouse after the withdrawal. The 

quantity in each instance may be shown as a cumulative total event 

though it may include a group of varied units such as boxes, cases, or 

cartons, and may consist of more than one commodity, such as distilled 

spirits, chinaware, etc.

    (b) Transferred merchandise. When all or a portion of an original 

lot has been transferred to a new owner in accordance with subpart C of 

this part, each withdrawal by the transferee shall show only the 

quantity on hand in the transferee's name before the withdrawal, the 

quantity being withdrawn by the transferee, and the transferred quantity 

remaining in the warehouse after the withdrawal. The quantity retained 

by the original importer and the quantity transferred shall be treated 

as separate accounts.

    (c) Charges and liens. Upon receipt of an application to withdraw 

merchandise the appropriate Customs officer shall determine whether 

there are any cartage, storage, labor, or any other charges due the 

Government in connection with the goods remaining unpaid or whether 

there is on file any notice of lien filed by a carrier. If there are no 

charges or liens or all charges and liens
