[[Page 660]]



provisions of this subpart shall be presented by the carrier to the 

Customs officer at each port of lading of a vessel, or at the port of 

exit of a vehicle. Where the merchandise is transported under Customs 

red in-bond seals and is accompanied by a transportation in-bond 

manifest, a separate in-transit manifest is not required.

    (b) Additional copies. In the following cases additional copies of 

the manifest shall be presented:

    (1) When the merchandise is to be transshipped in foreign territory 

under Customs supervision, a copy of the manifest for each place of 

transshipment shall be presented.

    (2) When a Customs officer requests an extra copy of the manifest as 

a record of the transaction.

    (c) Manifest forms to be used. The in-transit manifest forms to be 

used are:

    (1) For trucks, railroad cars or other overland carriers transiting 

Mexico a manifest on Customs Form 7512-B or 7533-C shall be presented.

    (2) For vessels of less than 5 net tons departing and arriving 

otherwise than by sea, a manifest on Customs Form 7512-B or 7533-C shall 

be presented. All other vessels are subject to the manifesting 

requirements contained in Sec.  4.82 of this chapter.

    (3) For rail cars transiting Canada, a manifest on Customs Form 

7533-C (Canada A4-1/2) shall be presented. For trains which will remain 

intact while transiting Canadian territory, a consolidated train 

manifest containing all the information included in the individual car 

manifests and the train sheet required by Sec.  123.23 may be used in 

lieu of individual car manifests. For a number of cars which will 

transit Canada as a group, a consolidated manifest may be used, but a 

train sheet shall also be presented.

    (4) In all other cases where no in-transit manifest form is 

specified in this subpart, or in subpart E relating to truck shipments 

on the Canadian border, subpart F relating to commercial traveler's 

samples, and subpart G relating to baggage, Customs Form 7512-B or 7533-

C shall be presented.

    (d) Contents of in-transit manifest. The information contained in 

the manifest shall correspond to the information contained in the 

waybill accompanying the shipment, except that:

    (1) The conveyance shall be identified in a suitable manner in the 

place provided for such identification.

    (2) The description of ladings made up of several shipments which 

are to go forward in a conveyance or compartment sealed with Customs 

seals shall be ``miscellaneous shipments.''

    (3) When an in-transit rail shipment will enter and reenter Canada 

in a continuing movement en route to a final destination in the United 

States, only the final United States port of reentry shall be shown on 

the manifest.
