will be required to execute and deliver to the
collector of customs at the port of clearance a good and sufficient
bond, with two sureties, in double the value of such merchandise,
conditioned that such arms or ammunition, or any part thereof, shall not
be landed or disposed of within the Territory of Alaska. Such bond shall
be taken for such time as the collector shall deem proper, and may be
satisfied upon proofs similar to those required to satisfy ordinary
export bonds, showing that such arms have been landed at some foreign
port; or, if such merchandise is landed at any port of the United States
not within the limits of the Territory of Alaska, the bond may be
satisfied upon production of a certificate to that effect from the
collector of the port where it is so landed.
