(A vessel is said to be sea-going if part at least of its voyage, while carrying the goods in question, is by sea).
The goods excluded are: mail, bullion, specie, passengers’ baggage, bunkers, ships’ stores, ballast, ships and other floating appliances when delivered as goods without being loaded on other ships, government stores when carried in government vessels, and goods trans-shipped from an importing vessel to an exporting vessel.
