  CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 123--CUSTOMS RELATIONS WITH CANADA AND MEXICO--Table of Contents
 
        Subpart C--Shipments in Transit Through Canada or Mexico
 
Sec. 123.25  Certification and disposition of manifests.

    (a) Certification. Conveyances proceeding under the provisions of 
this subpart shall not proceed until the Customs inspector has certified 
the in-transit manifest or verified its certification by the carrier. 
The port director may require the carrier to execute the certificate as 
an alternative to certification by the Customs officer. When the carrier 
is to execute the certificate, and the merchandise will be forwarded 
without being under Customs seals, the agent of the carrier shall 
carefully examine the packages covered by the manifests to satisfy 
himself that the merchandise agrees with the manifest as to quantity and 
description.
    (b) Disposition of manifest. The original manifest, after 
certification, shall accompany the merchandise. Additional copies 
required when the merchandise is to be transshipped in Canada or Mexico 
under Customs supervision shall be given to the person in charge of the 
conveyance for delivery to the Customs officers who will supervise 
transshipment.
