Customs en- the northwestern and north

been issued from tke Treasury Depart-
ment:
WGsHIseTos, May eth, 1865.
Much annoyance seems to attend the
enforcement Of the regulation eoncerninzin--
voices ofimportations from Canada and New
Brunswick by railroad and otherwise, par
ticularly in the case Of importations ofsmaIl
value, which are numerous and frequently
unceeompsnied BY proper invoices and con
sulaE certificates, and wen the time and
expense required to obtain the latter are 50
disproportionate to the value Of the goods
as in effect to render the production Of IN.
voices and certificates impractieable, and
whereas the second provision OF the
second section of the act ef March ID,
Sd, 1858, Chapter :, ,6l2. statute 73s, in cases
where the production ofinvoices is imprac-
tcable, empowers the Secretary of tho
Treasury TO authorize entry upon such
terms and in accordance with such general
or special regulations es he may prescribe.
You are, therefore instructed to admit TO
entry, by apprisement goods from the above
named Provinces that are unaccompanied
by invoices or consular certificates which
are not the result of fraud, and that needless
and disproportionete expenses and auuOy-
ances would be incurred in obtaining
them, as this is a very important duty, in
volving the security Of the public revenue
and the freedom of trade from useless and
Texatious restrictions r'--
The special attention of Collectors is
called to the necessity Of utmost care IN
carrying this regulation into effect 80 as
not 70 extend its operations beyond the pre-
else limitations and conditions prescribed
tsignedl H. McC6LLocn,
Secretary of the Treasury.
