Sec. 1230.46  Violation.

    (a) If a violation of the Federal Caustic Poison Act is disclosed, 
the chief of the district shall send to the importer due notice of the 
nature of the violation and of the time and place where evidence may be 
presented, showing that the containers should not be refused admission. 
At the same time similar notice regarding detention of the containers 
shall be sent to the District Director of Customs, requesting him to 
refuse delivery thereof or to require their return to customs custody if 
by any chance the containers were released without the bond referred to 
in Sec. 1230.41. The time allowed the importer for representations 
regarding the shipment may be extended at his request for a reasonable 
period to permit him to secure such evidence.
    (b) If the importer does not reply to the notice of hearing in 
person or by letter within the time allowed on the notice, a second 
notice, marked ``second and last notice,'' shall be sent at once by the 
chief of the district, advising him that failure to reply will cause 
definite recommendation to the District Director of Customs that the 
containers be refused admission and that the containers be exported 
within 3 months under customs supervision.
