license, or a written authorization from the licensee, pursuant to 

regulations of the U.S. Department of Commerce (15 CFR 335.5), in order 

to claim the in-quota rate of duty on the worsted wool fabric at the 

time it is entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption. The 

importer must record the distinct and unique 9-character number for the 

license covering the worsted wool fabric on the entry summary or 

warehouse withdrawal for consumption (Customs Form 7501, column 34), or 

its electronic equivalent (see paragraph (c)(1) of this section).

    (b) Importer certification. By entering the worsted wool fabric 

under HTSUS subheading 9902.51.11 or 9902.51.12, the importer thus 

certifies that the worsted wool fabric is suitable for use in making 

suits, suit-type jackets, or trousers, as required under these 

subheadings.

    (c) Validity of license--(1) License number. To be valid, the 

license, or written authorization issued under the license and including 

its unique control number, must meet the requirements of 15 CFR 335.5, 

and with respect to the requirement in 15 CFR 335.5(a) that the license 

have a unique control number, the license must have a distinct and 

unique identifying number consisting of 9 characters comprised of the 

following three elements:

    (i) The first character must be a ``W'';

    (ii) The second and third characters must consist of the last 2 

digits of the calendar year for which the license is issued and during 

which it is in effect; and

    (iii) The final 6 characters represent the distinct and unique 

identifier assigned to the license by the Department of Commerce.

    (2) Use of license. A license covering worsted wool fabric that is 

entered under HTSUS subheading 9902.51.11 or 9902.51.12 is in effect, 

and may be used to obtain the applicable in-quota rate of duty for 

fabric that is entered or withdrawn for consumption, only during the 

specific calendar year (January 1--December 31, inclusive) for which the 

license is issued (see 15 CFR 335.2 and 335.5(b) and (d)).

    (d) Retention and production of license or authorization to Customs. 

The license and any written authorization from the licensee to the 

importer are subject to the recordkeeping requirements of part 163 of 

this chapter (19 CFR part 163). Specifically, the license and any 

written authorization must be retained for a period of 5 years in 

accordance with Sec.  163.4(a) of this chapter, and must be made 

available to Customs upon request in accordance with Sec.  163.6(a) of 

this chapter.
