19 CFR 18.20 Entry procedure; forwarding.
(a) When an importation is entered for transportation and exportation,
except as provided for in subparts D, E, F and G of part 123 of this chapter
(relating to merchandise in transit through the U.S. between two points in
contiguous foreign territory), a carnet, three copies of an air waybill (see
122.92 of this chapter), or four copies of Customs Form 7512 shall be
required. The port director, however, may require additional copies of
Customs Form 7512 or the Goods Manifest of the carnet for use in connection
with the delivery of the merchandise to, the bonded carrier. In lieu of
additional copies of a Goods Manifest, the port director may accept copies
of a bill of lading covering the merchandise. Acceptance of transportation
and exportation entries shall be subject to the requirements prescribed in
18.11(b) for entry of merchandise for immediate transportation without
appraisement.
(b) Except in respect to merchandise covered by a carnet (see 18.1(a) (2)
and (3)), in places where no bonded common carrier facilities are reasonably
avail- able and merchandise is permitted to be transported otherwise than by
a bonded common carrier, the port director may permit entry in accordance
with the procedure outlined in paragraph (a) of this section if he is
satisfied that the revenue will not be endangered. A bond on Customs Form
301, containing the bond conditions set forth in 113.62 of this chapter in
an amount equal to double the estimated duties shall be required when the
port director deems such action necessary. (See 113.55 of this chapter for
cancellation of export bonds.)
(c) The merchandise shall be for- warded in accordance with the general
provisions for transportation in bond, 18.1 through 18.8.
19 CFR 18.21 Restricted and prohibited merchandise.
(a) Merchandise subject upon importation to examination, disinfection, or
further treatment under quarantines and Quarantine Division, Agricultural
Research Service, Department of Agriculture, shall be released for
transportation or exportation only upon writ- ten permission of, or under
regulations issued by, that Bureau. (See 12.10 to 12.15 of this chapter.)
(b) Narcotics and other articles prohibited admission into the commerce of
the United States shall not be entered for transportation and exportation
and any such merchandise offered for entry for that purpose shall be seized,
except that exportation or transportation and exportation may be permitted
upon written authority from the proper governmental agency and/or compliance
with the regulations of such agency.
(c) Articles in transit manifested merely as drugs, medicines, or chemicals,
without evidence to satisfy the port director that they are non-narcotic,
shall be detained and subjected, at the carrier’s risk and expense, to such
examination as may be necessary to satisfy the port director whether or not
they are of a narcotic character. A properly verified certificate of the
shipper, specifying the items in the shipment and stating whether narcotic
or not, may be accepted by the port director to establish the character of
such a shipment.
(d) Explosives shall not be entered for transportation and/or exportation
under a transportation and exportation entry, or an immediate transportation
entry unless the importer has first obtained a license or permit from the
proper governmental agency.
