Sec. 387.321  Operations in foreign commerce.

    No motor carrier may operate in the United States in the course of 
transportation between places in a foreign country or between a place in 
one foreign country and a place in another foreign country unless and 
until there shall have been filed with and accepted by the FMCSA a 
certificate of insurance, surety bond, proof of qualifications as a 
self-insurer, or other securities or agreements in the amount prescribed 
in Sec. 387.303(b), conditioned to pay any final judgment recovered 
against such motor carrier for bodily injuries to or the death of any 
person resulting from the negligent operation, maintenance, or use of 
motor vehicles in transportation between places in a foreign country or 
between a place in one foreign country and a place in another foreign 
country, insofar as such transportation takes place in the United 
States, or for loss of or damage to property of others. The security for 
the protection of the public required by this section shall be 
maintained in effect at all times and shall be subject to the provisions 
of Sec. Sec. 387.309 through 387.319. The requirements of Sec. 
387.315(a) shall be satisfied if the insurance or surety company, in 
addition to having been approved by the FMCSA, is legally authorized to 
issue policies or surety bonds in at least one of the States in the 
United States, or one of the Provinces in Canada, and has filed with the 
FMCSA the name and address of a person upon whom legal process may be 
served in each State in or through which the motor carrier operates. 
Such designation may from time to time be changed by like designation 
similarly filed, but shall be maintained during the effectiveness of any 
certificate of insurance or surety bond issued by the company, and 
thereafter with respect to any claims arising during the effectiveness 
of such certificate or bond. The term ``motor carrier'' as used in this 
section shall not include private carriers or carriers operating under 
the partial exemption from regulation in 49 U.S.C. 13503 and 13506.
