    (a) Manner of cancellation. A bond to assure exportation as defined 
in Sec. 101.1 of this chapter may be cancelled:
    (1) Upon exportation. Upon the listing of the merchandise on the 
outward manifest or outward bill of lading, the inspector's certificate 
of lading, the record of clearance of the vessel or of the departure of 
the vehicle, and the production of a foreign landing certificate if the 
certificate is required by the port director.
    (2) Upon payment of liquidated damages. Upon the payment of

    (b) Cancellation of bond charges of an international carrier. The 
conditions of the bond of an international carrier may be considered as 
having been complied with upon the production of the applicable 
documents listed in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
    (c) Foreign landing certificate. A foreign landing certificate, when 
required, shall be produced within six months from the date of 
exportation and shall be signed by a revenue officer of the foreign 
country to which the merchandise is exported, unless it is shown that 
the country has no Customs administration, in which case the certificate 
may be signed by the consignee or by the vessel's agent at the place of 
landing. Landing certificates are required in the following cases:
    (1) Mandatory. A landing certificate shall be required in every case

or aircraft under the provisions of section 309 or 317, Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1309, 1317)), or machinery for vessels.
    (2) Optional with the port director. A landing certificate may be 
required by the port director for merchandise exported from the United 
States, or residue cargo, when a certificate is deemed necessary for the 
protection of the revenue.
    (3) Waiver. Except as provided in Sec. 4.88 of this chapter, in 
cases where landing certificates are required and they cannot be 
produced, an application for waiver thereof may be made to the 
Commissioner of Customs through the port director, accompanied by such 
proof of exportation and landing abroad as may be available.
    (d) Articles less than $10. In the case of articles for which the 
ordinary Customs duty estimated at the time of entry did not exceed $10 
and which are exported without Customs supervision, but within the 
period during which the articles are authorized to remain in the Customs 
territory of the United States under bond (including any lawful 
extension), the bond may be cancelled upon production of evidence of 
exportation satisfactory to the port director.
