Sec. 30.31  Identification of certain nonstatistical and other unusual transactions.

    In order to enable the Bureau of the Census to make a judgment as to 
the statistical or other status of certain export transactions, 
Shipper's Export Declarations covering the following types of 
transactions should carry a statement beneath the commodity description 
clearly identifying the transactions as such:
    (a) Merchandise exported for repair only, and other temporary 
exports to be returned to the United States which are not sold and do 
not enter the trade of the country to which shipped, e.g., merchandise 
for exhibition (not for exhibition and possible sale), horses or other 
animals for breeding or grazing, etc.
    (b) The return of merchandise previously imported for repair only 
and other returns to the foreign shipper of temporarily imported 
merchandise (declared as such on importation) on which no alteration or 
processing has been performed; e.g., foreign merchandise being returned 
to the country of origin after importation into the United States for 
exhibition only.
    (c) Shipments of material in connection with construction, 
maintenance, and related work being done on projects for the U.S. Armed 
Forces. Equipment and other material shipped for temporary use on such 
projects and intended for return to the United States should be 
identified separately from construction material or other goods which 
will become a part of or which will be consumed in the construction or 
maintenance work.
