Sec. 151.8  Examination after assembly.

    (a) Application by importer. Upon application by the importer, 
machinery, altars, shrines, and other articles which must be set up or 
assembled prior to examination may be examined at the mill, factory, or 
other suitable place after being assembled.
    (b) Conditions applicable. The importer shall comply with the 
conditions set forth in Sec. 151.7 (b) through (d). The port director 
may also require that a deposit be made of the estimated additional 
expense. The packages need not be corded and sealed in accordance with 
Sec. 151.7(a), but the port director may make such preliminary 
examination as he deems necessary to identify the merchandise with the 
invoice.
    (c) Removal of merchandise and notification of assembly. After the 
bond required by Sec. 151.7(d) has been filed and any necessary 
preliminary examination has been made, the port director may permit the 
merchandise to be removed to the place at which it is to be assembled 
for examination. Within 90 days after such removal, unless an extension 
has been applied for and granted by the port director, the importer 
shall notify the port director that the merchandise has been assembled 
and is ready for examination, whereupon final examination shall be made.
