105.5 Seamen admitted as immigrants.

105.6 Liability for head tax assessed for admission of seamen as immigrants. [Revised]

§105.2 Collection of head tax after admission. The tax described in § 105.1 shall be collected also from aliens within § 105.3 (c) when their stay is extended beyond 60 days; from aliens within § 105.3 (d) when their stay is extended beyond one year; when required, from aliens within § 110.53 if the Commissioner has directed admission; and when required, from aliens whose records of entry have been authorized to be amended or endorsed to show true status. The head tax shall be collected from aliens within this section in the form of a United States postal money order, payable to the collector of customs having jurisdiction over the place where the alien entered the United States, and shall be deposited with such collector of customs. If the head tax is collected in an immigration district other than the district where the alien entered the United States, the money order shall be forwarded by the officer in charge of the district where the head tax is collected to the officer in charge of the district where the entry of the alien occurred, where it shall be deposited with the appropriate collector of customs; in the cases of aliens within § 110.53, the money order will accompany the documents, record, and report required by that section. If the amount collected from aliens within this section is not received in sufficient time to be entered prior to the closing of the accounts at the port of entry for the month during which the alien actually entered the country, the amount shall nevertheless be deposited with the collector of customs. Collections within this section shall be reported

to the Central Office only by the officer in charge of the district where the alien entered the United States. He shall report such collections only as a part of the statistical section of his annual report as recoveries of head tax, separately as to the number of and amount collected from nonimmigrant aliens and immigrant aliens. The provisions of this section are not to be regarded as applicable to the collection of the fee in the amount of $18 required of certain aliens under the provisions of section 19 (c) of the Immigration Act of February 5, 1917, as amended (39 Stat. 889, 54 Stat. 672,56 Stat. 1044; 8 U.S.C. and Sup., 155).
