not discharged during the vessel's stay in port. A charge shall be made 
against the continuous bond on Customs Form 301, containing the bond 
conditions set forth in Sec. 113.64 of this chapter, if on file, or if a 
continuous bond is not on file, a single entry bond containing the bond

carnet, the carnet shall not be taken on charge (see Sec. 114.22(c)(2) 
of this chapter).
    (e) The principal on any bond filed to guarantee direct exportation
