BILL OF SIGHT, a document furnished to the customs by an importer of goods in Great Britain who, being unable for want of full information to make a perfect entry of goods consigned to him, describes them to the best of his knowledge and information. The goods may then be provisionally landed, but perfect entry must be made within three days by endorsing on the bill of sight the necessary particulars. In default of perfect entry within three days, the goods are taken to the king's warehouse, and if perfect entry is not made within one month and all duties and charges paid, they are sold for payment thereof. A bill of sight should be carefully distinguished from a "sight bill," which is a bill of exchange payable at sight (see BILL OF EXCHANGE).
