Before a ship is detained under section 392, an officer of customs shall assure himself by all means at his disposal that the complaint is not of a trivial or vexatious nature, and if the officer thinks fit to do so, he may exact from the complainant a deposit of money to defray the expenses of inspection and to pay any loss that may be sustained by the owner on account of the detention of the ship, or he may exact such security for the payment of such expenses or loss as he deems sufficient.
