Sec. 151.73  Importer's request for commercial laboratory test.

    (a) Conditions for commercial test. If the importer is dissatisfied 
with the results of a retest made in accordance with Sec. 151.71(c), he 
may request that a commercial test be made to determine the percentage 
clean yield of the wool or hair.
    (b) Time for filing request. The importer's request shall be filed 
in writing with the port director within 14 calendar days after the date 
of mailing of the notice of the port director's findings based on the 
retest.
    (c) Procedures for commercial test. The port director shall cause a 
representative quantity of the wool or hair in dispute to be selected 
and tested by a commercial method approved by the Commissioner of 
Customs. The yield, as determined by such commercial test, shall be 
suitably adjusted to coincide with the definition of clean yield in 
Sec. 151.61(b). Such test shall be made under the supervision and 
direction of the port director at an establishment approved by him, and 
the expense thereof, including the actual expense of travel and 
subsistence of Customs officers but not their compensation, shall be 
paid by the importer.
