                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
 
  CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 145--MAIL IMPORTATIONS--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart B--Requirements and Procedures
 
Sec. 145.14  Marking requirements.

    (a) Country of origin. Merchandise imported by mail shall be marked 
with the country of origin in accordance with part 134 of this chapter. 
If merchandise without the required marking is to be delivered from the 
post office where it has been given Customs examination, the Customs 
officer shall require compliance with the marking law and regulations. 
If it is to be delivered from another post office, the Customs officer 
shall place in the envelope containing the mail entry a copy of Customs 
Form 3475, containing instructions to the postmaster concerning the 
marking to be required before delivery.
    (b) Other marking requirements. Certain types of merchandise are 
subject to special marking requirements, such as those contained in the 
Textile Fiber Products Identification Act, the Wool Products Labeling 
Act, and the Trademark Act. Since there is no provision for post office 
supervision of these types of marking, the port director shall require 
compliance with the law and regulations (see parts 11 and 133 of this 
chapter).
    (c) Failure to mark. If the addressee fails to comply with the 
marking requirements, the mail article will be treated as undeliverable 
in accordance with Sec. 145.5.
