Sec.  141.39  Partnerships.



    (a)(1) General. A power of attorney granted by a partnership shall 

state the names of all members of the partnership. One member of the 

partnership may execute a power of attorney in the name of the 

partnership for the transaction of all its Customs business.

    (2) Limited partnership. A power of attorney granted by a limited 

partnership need only state the names of the general partners who have 

authority to bind the firm unless the partnership agreement provides 

otherwise. A copy of the partnership agreement must accompany the power 

of attorney. For this purpose, a partnership or limited partnership 

means any business association recognized as such under the laws of the 

state where the association is organized.

    (b) Change in partners. When a new firm is formed by a change in 

membership, no power of attorney filed by the antecedent firm shall 

thereafter be recognized for any Customs purpose.
