    **第一項**  徴収職員は、必要があると認めるときは、差し押えた動産又は有価証券を滞納者又はその財産を占有する第三者に保管させることができる。ただし、その第三者に保管させる場合には、その運搬が困難であるときを除き、その者の同意を受けなければならない。

    When a collection official finds it necessary, the official may have seized movables or securities kept in custody by the delinquent taxpayer or a third party in possession of the property. However, when having a third party keep them in custody, the official must obtain that person's consent, except where transporting them is difficult.

    **第二項**  前項の規定により滞納者又は第三者に保管させたときは、第五十六条第二項（動産等の差押の効力発生時期）の規定にかかわらず、封印、公示書その他差押を明白にする方法により差し押えた旨を表示した時に、差押の効力が生ずる。

    Where the delinquent taxpayer or a third party has been made to keep property in custody under the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the effect of the seizure arises, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 56, paragraph (2) (Time of Taking Effect of Seizure of Movables, etc.), at the time the fact of seizure is indicated by a seal, a public notice, or other method that makes the seizure clear.
