                 Subpart C--Procedure Following Petition
 
Sec. 175.25  Procedure at port of entry designated by petitioner.

    (a) Information as to character and description of merchandise. All 
information secured by the director of the port designated by the 
petitioner in his notice of desire to contest as to the character and 
description of merchandise of the kind covered by the petition and 
entered after publication by the Commissioner of Customs of his decision 
as to the proper appraised value, classification and rate of duty, and 
samples of such merchandise, shall be made available to the petitioner 
upon application by him to the port director.
    (b) Notice of liquidation. Notice of liquidation of the first of the 
entries to be liquidated which would enable the petitioner to present 
the issue desired shall be given to the petitioner by the director of 
the designated port as required by section 516. Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (19 U.S.C. 1516).
    (c) Further notice when issue not presented. If, upon examination of 
the information and inspection of any sample supplied by the port 
director, the petitioner believes and the port director agrees that the 
merchandise or the facts surrounding this importation are not sufficient 
to raise the issue involved in the petition, the port director shall 
then give the petitioner notice of the first liquidation thereafter 
which will permit the framing of the issue covered by the petition. The 
port director shall, under the same conditions, continue to give notice 
for so long as he is of the opinion that the petitioner affirmatively 
intends to contest. When the port director concludes that the petitioner 
does not intend to contest the decision of the Commissioner of Customs, 
he shall refer the matter to the Commissioner of Customs for his 
decision before issuing any further notice of liquidation.
