port of departure

port of departure
The port from which a vessel clears upon the commencement of a voyage. The port of departure of a ship sailing from the port of a foreign country to a port of the United States, is the foreign port from which she clears and departs. If the vessel puts in at another foreign port after so clearing and before her departure for the United States, the port at which she thus stops is not her port of departure. United States v The Dago (CA4 Md) 61 F 986, 989.
