Such system of permits shall require the person or dealer who desires to import tangible personal property into the applicable taxing district, which property is subject to the tax imposed by this article, to apply to the collector or his assistants for a permit stating the kind of vehicle to be used, the name of the driver, the license number of the vehicle, the kind or character of tangible personal property to be imported, the date, the name and address of the consignee, and such other information as the collector may deem proper or necessary. Such permits shall be free of cost to the applicant and may be obtained at the office of the collector.
