aircraft arriving in the U.S. shall make baggage declarations as set 
forth in part 148 of this chapter. An oral declaration of articles 
acquired in foreign areas shall be made, unless a written declaration on 
Customs Form 6059-B is found necessary by inspecting officers.
    (b) Cargo. (1) On arrival, cargo and unaccompanied baggage not 
carried for hire aboard a private aircraft may be listed on a baggage 
declaration on Customs Form 6059-B, and shall be entered. If the cargo 
or unaccompanied baggage is not listed on a baggage declaration, it 
shall be entered in the same manner as cargo carried for hire into the 
U.S.
    (2) On departure, when a private aircraft leaves the U.S. carrying 
cargo not for hire, the Bureau of Census (15 CFR part 30) and the Export 
Administration (15 CFR parts 368 through 399) regulations and any other 
applicable export laws shall be followed. A foreign landing certificate 
or certified copy of a foreign Customs entry is required as proof of 
exportation if the cargo includes:
    (i) Merchandise valued at more than $500.00; or
    (ii) More than one case of alcoholic beverages withdrawn from a 
Customs bonded warehouse or otherwise in bond for direct exportation by 
private aircraft.

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.
    (c) Pilot certificate/license, certificate of registration--(1) 
Pilot certificate/license. A commander of a private aircraft arriving in 
the U.S. must present for inspection a valid pilot certificate/license, 
medical certificate, authorization, or license held by that person, when 
presentation for inspection is requested by a Customs officer.
    (2) Certificate of registration. A valid certificate of registration 
for private aircraft which are U.S.-registered must also be presented 
upon arrival in the U.S., when presentation for inspection is requested 
by a Customs officer. A so-called ``pink slip'' is a duplicate copy of 
the Aircraft Registration Application (FAA Form AC 8050-1), and does not 
constitute a valid certificate of registration authorizing travel 
internationally.
