Customs Consolidation Act, 1876

Perfecting entry by endorsement of bill of sight.

59. Such entry being delivered to the collector or other proper officer, and signed by him, shall be the warrant for provisionally landing such goods to be examined by such importer in presence of the proper officers; and the importer shall, within three days or such further time as the Commissioners of Customs shall see fit after the landing thereof and before the same shall be delivered, make full and perfect entry thereof by endorsing upon such bill of sight such particulars of such goods as are herein required on making perfect entry of goods, whether for payment of duty, or for warehousing or for delivery free of duty, as the case may be, and to such endorsement he shall affix the date thereof, together with his signature and place of abode; and such endorsement, when countersigned by the collector or other proper officer, shall be taken as the perfect entry for such goods.
