Upon receipt of the certificate and report, and upon payment of tax on deficiency, if any, the collector of internal revenue shall cancel the transportation bond. The bond required to be given for the landing at a foreign port of dis- tilled spirits shall be canceled upon the presentation of satisfactory proof and certificates that said distilled spirits have been landed at the port of destination named in the bill of lading or any other port without the jurisdiction of the United States or upon satisfactory proof that after shipment the same were lost at sea without fault or neglect of the owner or shipper thereof. And whenever a distiller of spirits in bond shall desire to change the packages in which the same is contained, in order to export them, the Commissioner shall be au- thorized, under regulations to be prescribed by him, and upon the execution of proper bonds with sufficient sureties, to permit the with- drawal of so much spirits from bond and in new packages as the distiller shall desire to export as aforesaid.
