the merchandise or any part thereof upon demand of the collector of 

customs and containing a provision for the performance of conditions as 

may legally be imposed for the relabeling or other action necessary to 

bring the article into compliance with the act or rendering it other

for such bond in the customs regulations in force on the date of request 

for authorization. The bond shall be filed with the collector of 

customs.

lesser amount or upon such other terms and conditions as shall be deemed 

appropriate under the law and in view of the circumstances, but the 

collector shall not act under this regulation in any case unless the 

district director is in full agreement with the action.
