Sec. 10.40  Refund of cash deposits.

    (a) When a cash deposit is made in lieu of surety, it shall be 
refunded to the person in whose name the entry is made upon exportation 
in compliance with Sec. 10.38.
    (b) If any article entered under Chapter 98, subchapter XIII, 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, is not exported or 
destroyed within the period of time during which articles may remain in 
the Customs territory of the United States under bond (including any 
lawful extension), the port director shall notify the importer in 
writing that the entire cash deposit will be transferred to the regular 
account as liquidated damages unless a written application for relief

application is timely filed, the transfer of the cash deposit to the 
regular account as liquidated damages shall be deferred pending the 
decision of the Headquarters, U.S. Customs Service or, in appropriate 
cases, the port director on the application.
