In order to prevent the illegal importation of gasoline or motor fuel, lubricating oil, or kerosene, into this State, and to strengthen and make more effective the manner and methods of enforcing payment of the taxes thereon, the collector is authorized to put into operation a system of permits whereby any person, firm, corporation, or dealer who has furnished bond to guarantee the payment of the tax as provided by law, may import gasoline or motor fuel, lubricating oil, or kerosene, by truck, automobile, or other means of transportation, other than a common carrier, without having the truck, automobile, or other means of transportation seized and subjected to legal proceeding for its forfeiture. Such system of permits shall require the person who desires to import gasoline or motor fuel, lubricating oil, or kerosene into this state, to apply to the collector or his representative, for a permit, stating the kind of vehicle to be used, the name of the driver, the license number of the vehicle, the number of gallons to be imported, the date, and such other information as the collector may deem proper or necessary to prevent the illegal importation and transportation of gasoline or motor fuel, lubricating oil, or kerosene.
