Sec.  141.19  Declaration of entry.



    (a) Declaration by consignee. The consignee in whose name an entry 

is made under the provisions of section 484, Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1484), shall execute the declaration specified in 

section 485(a), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1485(a)) on:



[[Page 12]]



    (1) The entry summary for merchandise entered for consumption, for 

warehouse, or for temporary importation under bond, or

    (2) The rewarehouse or the bonded manufacturing warehouse entry.



The declaration need not be under oath. When the consignee is a 

partnership, any partner may execute the declaration, and when the 

consignee is a corporation any officer of the corporation may execute 

the declaration.

    (b) Declaration by agent of consignee--(1) Authorized agent with 

knowledge of the facts. When entry is made in a consignee's name by an 

agent who has knowledge of the facts and who is authorized under a 

proper power of attorney by that consignee to make declarations in 

accordance with section 485(f), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 

U.S.C. 1485(f)), a declaration on the entry or entry summary executed by 

that agent is sufficient and no bond to produce a declaration of the 

consignee is required.

    (2) Other agents. When entry is made in a consignee's name by an 

agent who does not meet the qualifications in paragraph (b)(1) of this 

section either:

    (i) A declaration of the consignee on Customs Form 3347-A shall be 

filed with the entry documentation or entry summary or

    (ii) A charge for the production of the declaration shall be made 

against the bond on Customs Form 301, containing the bond conditions set 

forth in Sec.  113.62 of this chapter. No separate bond of the agent 

shall be required, since a charge against the bond on Customs Form 301, 

containing the bond conditions set forth in Sec.  113.62 of this chapter 

satisfies the requirements of section 485(c), Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1485(c)).

    (3) Nominal consignee. A nominal consignee who makes entry in his 

own name is not considered an agent within the purview of section 

485(c), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1485(c)), and he shall 

execute a declaration in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section.

    (c) Books, newspapers, and periodicals. In the case of successive 

importations of books, magazines, newspapers, and periodicals within the 

scope of section 485(b), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 

1485(b)), one declaration filed at the time of arrival of the first 

importation will be sufficient.
