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.)
