Every such sample shall be identified by a number or other identification mark for reference purposes;

(b) An importation license for the importation of manufactured fireworks samples of which have not been deposited aforesaid shall not authorize the removal of such manufactured fireworks from the custody of the Minister of Customs until samples thereof have been submitted to and approved by the Chief Inspector of Explosives.
