420 Breeding Stock for the United States, [oct., 



voluntary bond may be given by the importer, in double the amount of the estimated 

 duties, conditioned for the production of the requisite certificate within six months, 

 subject to extension for a like period on application to the Secretary of the 

 Treasury, and such bond shall be cancelled only upon the production of a pedigree 

 certificate conforming substantially to Paragraph 10 of these Regulations, or payment 

 of lull liquidated duties. Should the importer elect, estimated duties may be paid 

 and a written stipulation filed with the collector within ten days thereafter to 

 produce the requisite certificate within six months from date of entry, whereupon 

 final liquidation will be suspended until the production of the certificate or the 

 expiration of the six months ; and upon production of the requisite certificate in due 

 form within six months from entry, the amount deposited shall be refunded as an 

 excess of deposit. 



Proof of the importation of animals for sale for breeding ft<r 'foses must be produced, 

 and the affidavit of the importer, first, that he is a citizen of the United States, and 

 second, that the animals are to be sold by him for breeding may be accepted as 

 prima facie evidence of those facts. The fact that the animals are of superior breed 

 and accompanied by proper pedigree certificates, establishes their status as breeding 

 animals ; and the use of such animals incidentally for driving or working would be 

 no violation of the affidavit of the purchaser. In all cases the special purpose of 

 breeding by the purchaser in the United States must be satisfactorily shown. 

 Treasury decision 24,356 of April 13th, 1903, is modified accordingly. 



The form of certificate of record and pedigree to be used for 

 imported animals is given below. In filling up this form the 

 registry number of each recorded animal, or in case there is no 

 number the volume and page of register where the animal is 

 recorded, is to be given. In the case of sheep registered by- 

 flocks the volume and page of the Flock-Book in which the 

 flock is registered must be given.
