Sec. 18.20  Entry procedure; forwarding.

exportation, except as provided for in subparts D, E, F and G of part 
123 of this chapter (relating to merchandise in transit through the U.S. 
between two points in contiguous foreign territory), a carnet, three 
copies of an air waybill (see Sec. 122.92 of this chapter), or four 
copies of Customs Form 7512 shall be required. The port director, 
however, may require additional copies of Customs Form 7512 or the Goods 
Manifest of the carnet for use in connection with the delivery of the 
merchandise to, the bonded carrier. In lieu of additional copies of a 
Goods Manifest, the port director may accept copies of a bill of lading 
covering the merchandise. Acceptance of transportation and exportation 
entries shall be subject to the requirements prescribed in Sec. 18.11(b) 
for entry of merchandise for immediate transportation without 
appraisement.
    (b) Except in respect to merchandise covered by a carnet (see 
Sec. 18.1(a) (2) and (3)), in places where no bonded common carrier 
facilities are reasonably available and merchandise is permitted to be 
transported otherwise than by a bonded common carrier, the port director 
may permit entry in accordance with the procedure outlined in paragraph 
(a) of this section if he is satisfied that the revenue will not be 
endangered. A bond on Customs Form 301, containing the bond conditions 
set forth in Sec. 113.62 of this chapter in an amount equal to double 
the estimated duties shall be required when the port director deems such 
action necessary. (See Sec. 113.55 of this chapter for cancellation of 
export bonds.)
    (c) The merchandise shall be forwarded in accordance with the 
general provisions for transportation in bond, Secs. 18.1 through 18.8.
