Sec. 90. Deposit of goods in warehouses

    Whenever the cargo of a vessel is unladen at some other place than 
the port of entry under sections 88 and 89 of this title, all the 
articles of such cargo shall be deposited, at the risk of the parties 
concerned therein, in such public or other warehouses or inclosures as 
the collector shall designate, there to remain under the joint custody 
of such collector and of the owner, or master, or other person having 
charge of such vessel, until the same are entirely unladen or 
discharged, and until the articles so deposited may be safely removed 
without contravening such health laws. And when such removal is allowed, 
the collector having charge of such articles may grant permits to the 
respective owners or consignees, their factors or agents, to receive all 
merchandise which has been entered, and the duties accruing upon which 
have been paid, upon the payment by them of a reasonable rate of 
storage; which shall be fixed by the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services for all public warehouses and inclosures.
