destined for admission to a foreign trade zone may be done under the 
bond of a cartman or lighterman who is licensed pursuant to the

paragraph (a) of this section. Foreign trade zone operators, bonded 
warehouse proprietors, container station operators and centralized 
examination station operators may engage in limited cartage or 
lighterage under their respective bonds. A foreign trade zone operator 
may engage in cartage or lighterage under his bond only for merchandise 
destined for his foreign trade zone and may also transport merchandise 
to his zone from anywhere within the district boundaries (see definition 
of ``district'' at Sec. 112.1) where the foreign trade zone is located. 
A bonded warehouse proprietor may engage in cartage or lighterage under
