    (c) Foreign landing certificate. A foreign landing certificate, when 

required, shall be produced within six months from the date of 

exportation and shall be signed by a revenue officer of the foreign 

country to which the merchandise is exported, unless it is shown that 

the country has no Customs administration, in which case the certificate

landing. Landing certificates are required in the following cases:

    (1) Mandatory. A landing certificate shall be required in every case

    (3) Waiver. Except as provided in Sec.  4.88 of this chapter, in

Commissioner of Customs through the port director, accompanied by such 

proof of exportation and landing abroad as may be available.

    (d) Articles less than $10. In the case of articles for which the 

ordinary Customs duty estimated at the time of entry did not exceed $10 

and which are exported without Customs supervision, but within the 

period during which the articles are authorized to remain in the Customs 

territory of the United States under bond (including any lawful 

extension), the bond may be cancelled upon production of evidence of 

exportation satisfactory to the port director.
