it is stated under the heading of ‘Usability’ that an imported car can not be purchased at sea before reaching port. Please note the following as well: In addition to this documentary evidence, constructive possession also requires that the one possessing the asset must be in a position to use the item for which it is intended. For instance, one may not claim complete constructive possession of an imported car while it is still in transit at sea and he bought the car from its importer. Only once the car reaches the port and the owner is in a position to actually claim the vehicle does he establish constructive possession. However, the importer of the car may sell the car after receiving the bill of lading because it is in its constructive possession through the shipping company.
