The Florists* Review 



April 13, 1916. 



consignments of imported goods might 

 pass through the customhouse even in 

 cases in which the papers were lack- 

 ing, provided the third copy of the 

 consular invoice, which the consul for- 

 wards direct to the collector of cus- 

 toms at the port of entry, is at hand 

 and the importer is willing to file a 

 bond for the later production of the 

 missing papers. 



In this procedure the information 

 contained in the' ship 's manifest, which 

 is filed at the customhouse, is used in 

 lieu of the data in the delayed, bill of 

 lading. 



The opportunity to take advantage of 

 this method of procedure depends upon 

 the prompt receipt of the triplicate 

 copy of the consular invoice, which is 

 sent by the consul to the collector of 

 customs. It has been the practice of 

 the consuls to forward these papers at 

 convenience and often with consider- 

 able delay, because under normal condi- 

 tions promptitude is not important. 



In order to overcome this diflS^culty 

 the director of the consular service has 

 instructed American consuls "to forward 

 in the ofiicial mail the triplicate copy 

 of every consular invoice to the collec- 

 tor of customs at the American port 

 of entry immediately upon its issuance. 



The above instructions were sent to 

 the consuls by cable March 23. As 

 soon as sufficient time has elapsed for 

 this procedure to have become opera- 

 tive, it is expected that the delays 

 which have recently been experienced 

 will be overcome.
