                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
 
  CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 4--VESSELS IN FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC TRADES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 4.7  Inward foreign manifest; production on demand; contents and form.

    (a) The master of every vessel arriving in the United States and 
required to make entry shall have on board his vessel a manifest, as 
required by section 431, Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1431), and by 
this section. The manifest shall be legible and complete. If it is in a 
foreign language, an English translation shall be furnished with the 
original and with any required copies. The manifest shall consist of a 
Vessel Entrance or Clearance Statement, Customs Form 1300, and the 
following documents: (1) Cargo Declaration, Customs Form 1302, (2) 
Ship's Stores Declaration, Customs Form 1303, (3) Crew's Effects 
Declaration, Customs Form 1304, or, optionally, a copy of the Crew List, 
Customs and Immigration Form I-418, to which are attached crewmember's 
declarations on Customs Form 5129, (4) Crew List, Customs and 
Immigration Form I-418, and (5) Passenger List, Customs and Immigration 
Form I-418. Any document which is not required may be omitted from the 
manifest provided the word ``None'' is inserted in items 16, 18, and/or 
19 of the Vessel Entrance or Clearance Statement, as appropriate. If a 
vessel arrives in ballast and therefore the Cargo Declaration is 
omitted, the legend ``No merchandise on board'' shall be inserted in 
item 16 of the Vessel Entrance or Clearance Statment.
    (b) The original and one copy of the manifest shall be ready for 
production on demand. The master shall deliver the original and one copy 
of the manifest to the Customs officer who shall first demand it. If the 
vessel is to proceed from the port of arrival to other United States 
ports with residue foreign cargo or passengers, an additional copy of 
the manifest shall be available for certification as a traveling 
manifest (see Sec. 4.85). The port director may require an additional 
copy or additional copies of the manifest, but a reasonable time shall 
be allowed for the preparation of any copy which may be required in 
addition to the original and one copy.
    (c) No Passenger List or Crew List shall be required in the case of 
a vessel arriving from Canada, otherwise than by sea, at a port on the 
Great Lakes or their connecting or tributary waters.
    (d)(1) The master or owner of--
    (i) A vessel documented under the laws of the United States with a 
registry, coastwise license, or Great Lakes license endorsement, or a 
vessel not so documented but intended to be employed in the foreign, 
coastwise, or Great Lakes trade, or
    (ii) A documented vessel with a fishery license endorsement which 
has a permit to touch and trade (see Sec. 4.15) or a vessel with a 
fishery license endorsement lacking a permit to touch and trade but 
intended to engage in trade--

at the port of first arrival from a foreign country shall declare on 
Customs Form 226 any equipment, repair parts, or materials purchased for 
the vessel, or any expense for repairs incurred, outside the United 
States, within the purview of section 466, Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (19 U.S.C. 1466). If no equipment, repair parts, or materials 
have been purchased, or repairs made, a declaration to that effect shall 
be made on Customs Form 226.
    (2) If the vessel is at least 500 gross tons, the declaration shall 
include a statement that no work in the nature of a rebuilding or 
alteration which might give rise to a reasonable belief that the vessel 
may have been rebuilt within the meaning of the second proviso to 
section 27, Merchant Marine Act, 1920, as amended (46 U.S.C. 883), has 
been effected which has not been either previously reported or 
separately reported simultaneously with the filing of such declaration. 
The port director shall notify the U.S. Coast Guard vessel documentation 
officer at the home port of the vessel of any work in the nature of a 
rebuilding or alteration, including the construction of any major 
component of the hull or superstructure of the vessel, which comes to 
his attention unless the port director is satisfied that the owner of 
the vessel has filed an application for rebuilt determination as 
required by 46 CFR 67.27-3.

    (3) The declaration shall be ready for production on demand for 
inspection and shall be presented as part of the original manifest when 
formal entry of the vessel is made.
