    (a) No vessel which has arrived within the limits of any Customs 

port from a foreign port or place shall depart or attempt to depart, 

except from stress of weather or other necessity, without reporting and 

making entry as required in this part. These requirements shall not 

apply to vessels merely passing through waters within the limits of a 

Customs port in the ordinary course of a voyage.

    (b) The ``limits of any Customs port'' as used herein are those 

described in Sec.  101.3(b) of this chapter, including the marginal 

waters to the 3-mile limit on the seaboard and the waters to the 

boundary line on the northern and southern boundaries.

    (c) Violation of this provision may result in the master being 

liable for certain civil penalties and the vessel to arrest and 

forfeiture, as provided under 19 U.S.C. 1436, in addition to other 

penalties applicable under other provisions of law.
