Sec. 174.30  Notice of denial of protest.

    (a) Issuance of notice. Notice of denial of a protest shall be 
mailed to any person filing a protest or his agent in all cases other 
than those in which accelerated disposition was requested and in which 
no action has been taken within 30 days after the date of mailing of the 
request. The notice shall include a statement of the reasons for the 
denial, as well as a statement informing the protesting party of the 
right to file a civil action contesting the denial of the protest under 
section 514, Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1514). For 
purposes of section 515(a), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 
1515(a)), the date appearing on such notice shall be deemed the date on 
which such notice was mailed.
    (b) Substitution of persons designated to receive notice. The 
importer of record or consignee may give notice to the port director 
instructing that notice of denial of any protest involving merchandise 
imported in his name or on his behalf shall be mailed to a person other 
than the person filing such protest or the designee of such person. Such 
notice of substitution shall be filed in quadruplicate and shall 
identify the protest by number and date of receipt. Notice of denial of 
a protest shall be mailed to the substituted person so designated only 
if the notice of substitution is received by the port director prior to 
a denial by him of such protest.
    (c) Notification of payment of increased duties. The port director 
shall note on the notice of denial of a protest the payment of all 
liquidated duties, charges, or exactions, if he has actual knowledge of 
such payment at the time that the protest is denied.
