                    Subpart E_Production of Documents

 

Sec.  113.43  Extension of time period.



    (a) Application received within time period. If a document referred 

to in Sec.  113.42 is not produced within 120 days from the date of the 

transaction in connection with which the bond was given, the port 

director, in his discretion, upon written application of the importer, 

may extend the period for one further period of 2 months.

    (b) Late application. No application for the extension of the period 

of any bond given to assure the production of a missing document shall 

be allowed by the port director if the application is received later 

than 2 months after the expiration of the period of the bond, and any 

extension shall not be allowed by the port director for a period of more 

than 2 months from the date of expiration of the period.

    (c) Acceptance of a free-entry or reduced-duty document prior to 

liquidation. When a bond is given for the production of any free-entry 

or reduced-duty document and a satisfactory document is produced prior 

to liquidation of the entry or within the period during which a valid 

reliquidation may be completed, provided the failure to file was not due 

to willful negligence or fraudulent intent, it shall be accepted as 

satisfying the requirement that it be filed in connection with the 

entry, and the bond charge for its production shall be cancelled.
