PART 141--ENTRY OF MERCHANDISE--Table of Contents
 
      Subpart D--Quantity of Merchandise To Be Included in an Entry
 
Sec. 141.52  Separate entries for different portions.

    If the port director is satisfied that there will be no prejudice 
to: Import admissibility enforcement efforts; the revenue; and the 
efficient conduct of Customs business, separate entries may be made for 
different portions of all merchandise arriving on one vessel or vehicle 
and consigned to one consignee under any of the following circumstances:
    (a) Each portion of a consolidated shipment addressed to one 
consignee for various ultimate consignees may be entered separately 
under the procedure set forth in Sec. 141.54.
    (b) One or more of the enclosed packages in a packaged package may 
be entered separately under any appropriate form of formal or informal 
entry. No entry is required for an enclosed package which contains 
merchandise unconditionally free of duty and not exceeding $250 in 
value. A packed package is an outer package in which are contained inner 
packages addressed for delivery to two or more different persons, as 
described in section 484(f), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 
1484(f)). Each outer container shall be marked to indicate that it is a 
packed package.
    (c) The consignee desires to enter different portions under 
different forms of entry, for transportation to different ports of 
entry, or for warehousing in separate warehouses.
    (d) Appraisement is being withheld upon merchandise of the class or 
kind for which a separate entry is tendered.
    (e) The several portions of the consignment for which separate 
entries are tendered are covered by separate bills of lading.
    (f) The consignment consists of different classes of merchandise 
which are to be processed by different Customs commodity specialist 
teams.
    (g) The consignment contains merchandise subject to entry under a 
bond given to assure accounting for final disposition, such as a 
temporary importation under bond.
    (h) The consignment consists of different importations which arrived 
under a consolidated entry for immediate transportation made pursuant to 
Sec. 18.11(g) of this chapter.
    (i) A special application is submitted to the Commissioner of 
Customs with the recommendation of the port director concerned and is 
approved by the Commissioner.
