through the Customs, and shall request the Collector to refuse admission
to all meat and products which are marked either “U.S. inspected and
condemned” or “U.S. refused entry,” and to direct that the same be
exported by the consignee within a specified time, unless the consignee,
within such specified time, shall cause the destruction thereof for food
purposes under the supervision of a Department Inspector. Such specified
time shall be thirty days after such notice to Customs officers, unless a

the supervision of a Department Inspector he shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Collector.
