                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
 
  CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 146--FOREIGN TRADE ZONES--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart F--Transfer of Merchandise From a Zone
 
Sec. 146.68  Transfer for transportation or exportation; estimated production.

    (a) Weekly permit. The port director may allow the person making 
entry for merchandise provided for in Sec. 146.63(c) to file an 
application for a weekly permit to enter and release merchandise during 
a calendar week for exportation, transportation, or transportation and 
exportation. The application will be on Customs Form 7512 stating at the 
top the words ``Application for Weekly Zone Permit,'' and will be filed 
with the port director. The application must be accompanied by a pro 
forma invoice or schedule like that required in Sec. 146.63(c)(1). If 
actual transfers will exceed the estimate for the week, the person with 
the right to make entry shall file a supplemental Customs Form 7512 to 
cover the additional merchandise to be transferred from the subzone or 
zone site. No merchandise covered by the weekly permit may be 
transferred from the zone before approval of the application by the port 
director.
    (b) Individual entries. After approval of the application for a 
weekly permit by the port director, the person making entry will be 
authorized to execute individual Customs Forms 7512 for exportation, 
transportation, or transportation and exportation of the merchandise 
covered by permit. Upon transfer of the merchandise, the operator shall 
obtain a receipt from the carrier on Customs Form 7512 to ensure its 
assumption of liability under the carrier's or cartman's bond. Customs 
will consider the time of entry to be when the removing carrier signs 
the receipt for the merchandise. The operator shall give the bonded 
carrier a copy of the individual Customs Form 7512, as provided for in 
Sec. 18.2(c) of this chapter. The operator also shall ensure that the 
port director receives a copy of the Customs Form 7512 by the end of the 
next working day after the carrier has receipted for the merchandise.
    (c) Statement of merchandise entered. The person making entry for 
merchandise under an approved weekly permit shall file with the port 
director, by the close of business on the second working day of the week 
following the week designated on the permit, a statement of the 
merchandise entered under that permit. The statement must list each 
Customs Form 7512 by its unique I.T. number, and will provide a 
reconciliation of the quantities on the weekly permit with the 
manifested quantities on the individual Customs Forms 7512 submitted to 
Customs, as well as an explanation of any discrepancy.
