Sec. 1.97  Bonds.

    (a) The bonds required under section 801(b) of the act may be 
executed by the owner or consignee on the appropriate form of a customs 
single-entry or term bond, containing a condition for the redelivery of 
the merchandise or any part thereof upon demand of the collector of 
customs and containing a provision for the performance of conditions as 
may legally be imposed for the relabeling or other action necessary to 
bring the article into compliance with the act or rendering it other 
than a food, drug, device, or cosmetic, in such manner as is prescribed 
for such bond in the customs regulations in force on the date of request 
for authorization. The bond shall be filed with the collector of 
customs.
    (b) The collector of customs may cancel the liability for liquidated 
damages incurred under the above-mentioned provisions of such a bond, if 
he receives an application for relief therefrom, upon the payment of a 
lesser amount or upon such other terms and conditions as shall be deemed 
appropriate under the law and in view of the circumstances, but the 
collector shall not act under this regulation in any case unless the 
district director is in full agreement with the action.
