§ 3-4-4. Risk assumed by purchaser.
The only obligation of the division of taxation, if it decides to execute an order pursuant to § 3-4-1, is to mail the order and the medium of payment for the order in case the division of taxation transmits the means of payment, to inspect the merchandise upon its delivery, and to notify the party ordering the merchandise of its arrival and where it may be found. The leaving with the division of taxation of the order and the making of the payments are taken to be an agreement upon the part of the person desiring the importation to assume all the risks of the transaction, and it is declared that he or she assumes those risks.
