Commissioner of Customs that they are for the purpose stated in the

continuous customs custody elsewhere than in a bonded warehouse, or from

in 19 U.S.C. 1309 and 1317. The contracting activity must cite this 
authority on the appropriate customs form when making purchases (see 19 
CFR 10.59--10.65).
