A Law Dictionary, Adapted to the Constitution and Laws of the United States

maritime lar. When a merchant makes an entry on the importation of goods, and at the time he is not able to calculate exactly the duties which he is liable to pay, gave rise to the practice of allowing entries to be made after the goods have been weighed, measured or guaged, to make up the deficiency of the original or prime entry; the entry thus allowed to be made is called a post entry.

Chit. Com. Law, 746.
