   CHAPTER I--BUREAU OF CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION, DEPARTMENT OF 

              HOMELAND SECURITY; DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

 

PART 122_AIR COMMERCE REGULATIONS--Table of Contents

 

                       Subpart C_Private Aircraft

 

Sec.  122.27  Documents required.



    (a) Crewmembers and passengers. Crewmembers and passengers on a 

private aircraft arriving in the U.S. shall make baggage declarations as 

set forth in part 148 of this chapter. An oral declaration of articles 

acquired in foreign areas shall be made, unless a written declaration on 

Customs Form 6059-B is found necessary by inspecting officers.

    (b) Cargo. (1) On arrival, cargo and unaccompanied baggage not 

carried for hire aboard a private aircraft may be listed on a baggage 

declaration on Customs Form 6059-B, and shall be entered. If the cargo 

or unaccompanied baggage is not listed on a baggage declaration, it 

shall be entered in the same manner as cargo carried for hire into the 

U.S.

    (2) On departure, when a private aircraft leaves the U.S. carrying 

cargo not for hire, the Bureau of Census (15 CFR part 30) and the Export 

Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts 730 through 774) and any other 

applicable export laws shall be followed. A foreign landing certificate 

or certified copy of a foreign Customs entry is required as proof of 

exportation if the cargo includes:

    (i) Merchandise valued at more than $500.00; or

    (ii) More than one case of alcoholic beverages withdrawn from a 

Customs bonded warehouse or otherwise in bond for direct exportation by 

private aircraft.



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 may be signed by 

the consignee or by the vessel's agent at the place of landing.

    (c) Pilot certificate/license, certificate of registration--(1) 

Pilot certificate/license. A commander of a private aircraft arriving in 

the U.S. must present for inspection a valid pilot certificate/license, 

medical certificate, authorization, or license held by that person, when 

presentation for inspection is requested by a Customs officer.

    (2) Certificate of registration. A valid certificate of registration 

for private aircraft which are U.S.-registered must also be presented 

upon arrival in the U.S., when presentation for inspection is requested 

by a Customs officer. A so-called ``pink slip'' is a duplicate copy of 

the Aircraft Registration Application (FAA Form AC 8050-1), and does not 

constitute a valid certificate of registration authorizing travel 

internationally.
