01/19/04 Sec. 145. Collection of tolls
All tolls charged under the provisions of section 144 of this
Appendix shall be collected under such regulations as shall be
prescribed by the Commissioner of Customs, who may require the
master of each vessel to furnish a sworn statement of the amount
and kind of cargo and the number of passengers carried and the
destination of the same, and such proof of the actual delivery of
such cargo or passengers at some port or place within the limits
above named as he shall deem satisfactory; and until such proof is
furnished such freight and passengers may be considered to have
been landed at some port or place outside of those limits, and the
amount of tolls which would have accrued if they had been so
delivered shall constitute a lien which may be enforced against the
vessel in default wherever and whenever found in the waters of the
United States.
