at their option, in lieu of executing an export bond as provided by law, give a transportation bond with sureties satisfactory to the Secretary or his delegate and under such regulations as he may prescribe, conditioned for the due delivery thereof on board an export carrier at a port of exportation to be named therein, and for the due performance on the part of the exporter or owner at the port of export of all the requirements in regard to notice of export, entry, and the giving of bond hereinafter specified in this subsection. In such case, on arrival of the spirits at the port of export, the exporter or owner at that port shall immediately notify the collector of the port of the fact, setting forth his intention to export such spirits, and the designation of the carrier on which such spirits are to be laden, and the port to which they are intended to be exported. He shall, after the quantity of spirits has been determined by inspection or by gauge as regulations prescribed by the Secretary or his delegate shall require, file with the collector of the port an export entry. The Secretary or his delegate may, by regulations, require the exporter or owner also to give bond to the United States, conditioned that the principal named in said bond will export the spirits as specified in such entry to the port designated in such entry, or to some other port without the jurisdiction of the United States. On the lading of such spirits, the collector of the port, after the filing of such bonds as the Secretary or his delegate may, by regulations, require, by the exporter or owner at the port of shipment thereof, shall transmit to the Secretary or his delegate a clearance certificate and a report of the inspection or gauge. Whenever a warehouseman of spirits in bond desires to change the packages in which such spirits are contained, for exportation, the Secretary or his delegate may, under regulations prescribed by him, and on the execution of proper bonds with sufficient sureties, permit the withdrawal of so much spirits from bond and in such packages as the warehouseman desires to export.
