Bill of Sight is an entry of imported goods of which the merchant does not know the quantity or quality. This is permitted to save time by the Customs authorities on sworn information. The bill must be made perfect in three days by indorsing the particulars required for warehousing, payment of duty, or delivery free of duty. If the entry is not completed within a month, the goods are sold.
