officer shall satisfy himself that the
truck contains only that merchandise
covered by the manifest which moved
on the truck from the United States
through Canada.
(e) Proof of exportation from Canada.
The certified copy of the manifest returned to the driver by Canadian Customs at the Canadian port of exit will
