               Subpart A--General Requirements--Exporters
 
Sec. 30.11  Authority to require production of documents.

    For purposes of verifying the completeness and accuracy of the 
information reported as required under Secs. 30.7 and 30.8, and for 
other purposes under the regulations in this part, Customs is authorized 
to require the owners and operators of exporting carriers, as well as 
the exporters or their agents, either at the time of exportation or 
within a period of 3 years subsequent thereto, to produce for inspection 
or copying shipping documents, invoices, orders, packing lists, 
correspondence, as well as any other relevant documents and to furnish 
other information bearing upon a particular exportation. The Bureau of 
the Census is similarly authorized to require the production of such 
documents. Customs shall refuse to accept Shipper's Export Declarations 
containing known errors and omissions, and may require their correction, 
but acceptance by the Customs Director shall not be construed as 
evidence that all requirements have been met, and such acceptance shall 
not relieve the exporter of the responsibility to furnish complete and 
correct information at a later time if all requirements have in fact not 
been properly met.
