Sec. 30.41  ``Split shipments'' by air.

    When a shipment by air covered by a single Shipper's Export 
Declaration is divided by the exporting transportation company at the 
port where the declaration is filed, and part of the shipment is 
exported on one aircraft and part on another aircraft of the same 
transportation company, the following procedure shall apply:
    (a) The carrier will deliver the manifest copy of the declaration to 
the District Director of Customs with the manifest covering the flight 
on which the first part of the split shipment is exported, and will make 
no changes on the declaration. However, the manifest

[[Page 324]]

will show in the ``number of packages'' column the actual portion of the 
declared total quantity being carried and will carry a notation to 
indicate ``Split Shipment.''
    (b) On each subsequent manifest covering a flight on which any part 
of a split shipment is exported, a prominent notation ``SPLIT SHIPMENT'' 
will be made adjacent to the item on the manifest for ready 
identification. For the last shipment the notation will read ``SPLIT 
SHIPMENT, FINAL.''

Each subsequent manifest covering a part of a split shipment shall also 
show in the ``number of packages'' column only the merchandise carried 
on that particular flight and a reference to the total amount originally 
declared for export, e.g., 5 of 11, or 5/11; and immediately following 
the line showing the portion of the split shipment carried on that 
flight, a notation will be made showing the air waybill number shown on 
the original Shipper's Export Declaration and the portions of the 
originally declared total carried on each previous flight together with 
the number and date of each such previous flight, e.g., original 
Shipper's Export Declaration AWB 123; 2 of 11 flight 36A, June 6; 4 of 
11, flight 40X, June 10.
    (c) Export declarations will not be required for these subsequent 
shipments.
