POST ENTRY, maritime law. When a merchant makes an entry on the importation
of, goods, and at the time he is not able to calculate exactly the duties
which he is liable to pay, gave rise to the practice of allowing entries to
be made after the goods have been weighed, measured or gauged, to make up
the deficiency of the original or prime entry; the entry thus allowed to be
made is called a post entry. Chit. Com. Law, 746.
