165. MANNER OF SELECTION AND TESTING OF SAMPLES. -The test to determine length of yarns shall be as follows, - (i) From every one hundred bales, or fraction of 100 bales, in a consignment one bundle shall be selected at random. The hanks in this bundle shall then be measured on the warp wheel one after the other, in the presence of the importer or any other person interested as is referred to in the last foregoing rule, or his representative and the length noted, the process being continued (within the limits of the bundle) until either the importer or other person, as the case may be, is satisfied that the yarn is short, or the average of the lengths noted shows that it is of full length; (ii) When the importer or other person is dissatisfied with the test aforesaid he may, on payment of the cost, require the Customs Collector to measure more hanks up to 1 per cent of the total number of hanks in the consignment, such hanks being taken at random by an officer of the customs out of any bundles in the consignment.
