The law provides that every person entering the United States shall make a declaration and entry of his or her personal baggage, The law further requires that the values of articles shall be determined by customs officers, irrespective of the statements of passen gers relative thereto. It will thus be seen that there is no discourtesy in the requirement that both a declaration and an independent appraisal shall be made. Taken together, these requirements place the passenger in the same position as any other importer of merchandise. Passengers should observe that on the sheet given them there are two forms of declarations (the one printed in black is for residents of the United States) the one in red, for nonresidents. The exact number of pieces of baggage, including all trunks, valises, boxes, packages, and hand bags of any description accompanying the passenger, must be stated in the declaration. The senior member of a family present as a passenger, may make declaration for the entire family. Ladies traveling alone should state that fact in their declarations, in order that an expeditious examination of their baggage may be made.

A declaration spoiled in its preparation must not be destroyed, but turned over to the purser, who will furnish a new blank to the passenger. After all the baggage and effects of the passenger have been landed upon the pier, the coupon which has been retained by the passenger must be presented at the inspector's desk, whereupon an inspector will be detailed to examine the baggage. Passengers must acknowledge in person, on the pier, their signature to their declarations. Examination of any baggage may be postponed if the passenger requests the officer taking his declaration to have it sent to the appraiser's store. Passengers must not deduct the $100 exemption in making out their declarations. Such deductions will be made by customs officers on the pier. Passengers dissatisfied with values placed upon dutiable articles by the customs officer on the pier may demand a reexamination. but application therefor should be immediately made to the officers there in charge. If for any reason this course is impracticable, the packages containing the articles should be left in customs custody and application for reappraisement made to the collector of customs, in writing, within ten days after the original appraisement. No request for reappraisement can be entertained after the articles have been removed from customs custody. PENALTY FOR NOT DECLARING ARTICLES OBTAINED ABROAD.
