                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
 
  CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 181--NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT--Table of Contents
 
                     Subpart C--Import Requirements
 
Sec. 181.23  Effect of noncompliance; failure to provide documentation regarding transshipment.

    (a) Effect of noncompliance. If the importer fails to comply with 
any requirement under this part, including submission of a Certificate 
of Origin under Sec. 181.22(b) or submission of a corrected Certificate 
under Sec. 181.22(c), the port director may deny preferential tariff 
treatment to the imported good.
    (b) Failure to provide documentation regarding transshipment. Where 
the requirements for preferential tariff treatment set forth elsewhere 
in this part are met, the port director nevertheless may deny 
preferential tariff treatment to an originating good if the good is 
shipped through or transshipped in a country other than the United 
States, Canada or Mexico and the importer of the good does not provide, 
at the request of the port director, copies of the customs control 
documents that indicate to the satisfaction of the port director that 
the good remained under customs control while in such other country.
