RULE 143. Owners power to deal with warehoused goods.

-With the sanction of the proper officer and in accordance with such instructions as the Commissioner may, from time to time, issue in writing in this behalf, any owner of goods lodged in a warehouse may sort, separate, pack and repack the goods and make such alterations therein as may be necessary for the preservation, sale or disposal thereof. After the goods have been so separated and repacked in such manner as may be ordered by the Commissioner, the proper officer may, at the owners request, cause or permit any refuse or damaged goods remaining after such repacking to be destroyed subject to such limitations as the Commissioner may from time to time impose, and may remit the duty assessed thereon.
