All tolls charged under the provisions of section 144 of this Appendix shall be collected under such regulations as shall be prescribed by the Commissioner of Customs, who may require the master of each vessel to furnish a sworn statement of the amount and kind of cargo and the number of passengers carried and the destination of the same, and such proof of the actual delivery of such cargo or passengers at some port or place within the limits above named as he shall deem satisfactory; and until such proof is furnished such freight and passengers may be considered to have been landed at some port or place outside of those limits, and the amount of tolls which would have accrued if they had been so delivered shall constitute a lien which may be enforced against the vessel in default wherever and whenever found in the waters of the United States.
