Consuls and special Treasury agents.-Consular officers will confer freely with the Treasury revenue agents who may be appointed to visit and examine the consulates. They will remember, however, that these agents have no authority to instruct them as to their official acts. Consular officers will also render to such revenue agents every assistance in their power in the performance of their duties, giving them free access to the records and papers of their consulates relating to trade with the United States; communicating to them promptly any information acquired by them showing or indicating actual or contemplated frauds in the exportation of merchandise to the United States, or which may be in any wise useful to such agents in the prosecution of their inquiries or the performance of their duties, and generally cooperating with them therein; and giving special attention to any invoices of merchandise in which, or in relation to which, such agents may advise them that there is reason to apprehend that fraud or irregularity has been or is likely to be committed. Where samples are susceptible of being divided, such agents will be entitled to one-half of any such sample on application therefor; and in all cases they will be entitled to make such use of samples as may be necessary to enable them to prosecute any inquiry or procure any required proof in the performance of their duties. |
