§ 737.21 - Return of receipts before delivery of tobacco.

Except as permitted by law or by the regulations in this part, a warehouseman shall not deliver tobacco for which he has issued a negotiable receipt until the receipt has been returned to him and canceled; and shall not deliver tobacco for which he has issued a nonnegotiable receipt until such receipt has been returned to him or he has obtained from the person lawfully entitled to such delivery, or his authorized agent, a written acknowledgment thereof. Before delivery is made of the last portion of a lot of tobacco covered by a nonnegotiable receipt, the receipt itself shall be surrendered.
