If any article withdrawn from the customhouse or the post office without payment of the compensating tax is subsequently used by the importer for other purposes, corresponding entry should be made in the books of accounts, if any are kept, or a written notice thereof sent by the Collector of Internal Revenue and payment of the corresponding compensating tax made within thirty days from the date of such entry or notice and if the tax is not paid within such period the amount of the tax shall be increased by twenty-five per centum, the increment to be a part of the tax.

Goods brought by residents returning from abroad, the value of which does not exceed five hundred pesos, are exempt from the this tax.

"The phrase 'commodities, goods, wares, or merchandise,' as used in this title, shall not be construed as to include vessels, their equipment and/or appurtenances purchased or received from without the Philippines, before or after the taking effect of this Act."
