PART 1312--IMPORTATION AND EXPORTATION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1312.14  Distribution of copies of import permit.

    Copies of the import permit shall be distributed and serve purposes 
as follows:
    (a) The original and quintuplet copies (Copy 1 and Copy 5) shall be 
transmitted by the Administration to the importer, who shall retain the 
quintuplet copy (Copy 5) on file as his record of authority for the 
importation, and shall transmit the original copy (Copy 1) to the 
foreign exporter. The foreign exporter will submit the original copy 
(Copy 1) to the proper governmental authority in the exporting country, 
if required, as a prerequisite to the issuance of an export 
authorization. This copy of the permit will accompany the shipment. Upon 
arrival of the imported merchandise, the District Director of the U.S. 
Customs Service at the port of entry will, after appraising the 
merchandise, forward the original copy (Copy 1) to the Drug Operations 
Section with a report on the reverse side of such copy, showing the name 
of the port of importation, date prepared, name and net quantity of each 
substance, and report of analysis of the merchandise entered.
    (b) The duplicate copy (Copy 2) shall be forwarded by the 
Administration to the proper governmental authorities of the exporting 
country.
    (c) The quadruplet copy (Copy 4) shall be forwarded by the 
Administration to the District Director of the U.S. Customs Service at 
the U.S. port of entry, which shall be the customs port of destination 
in the case of shipments transported under immediate transportation 
entries, in order that the District Director may compare it with the 
original copy (Copy 1) and the bill of lading upon arrival of the 
merchandise. If a discrepancy is noted between corresponding items upon 
different copies of a permit bearing the same serial number when 
compared by the District Director, he shall refuse to permit entry of 
the merchandise until the facts are communicated to the Administration 
and further instructions are received.
    (d) The triplicate copy (Copy 3) and sextuplet copy (Copy 6) shall 
be retained by the Administration.
