    (a) Applicability. When merchandise which has been withdrawn from

[[Page 79]]



by the consignee named in the withdrawal.

    (b) Form of entry. An entry for rewarehouse shall be made in 

duplicate on Customs Form 7501 and shall contain all of the statistical 

information as provided in Sec.  141.61(e) of this chapter. The port 

director may require an extra copy or copies of Customs Form 7501, 

annotated ``PERMIT,'' for use in connection with the delivery of the 

merchandise to the warehouse. No declaration is required on the entry.

    (c) Combining separate shipments. (1) Separate shipments consigned 

to the same consignee and received under separate withdrawals for 

transportation may be combined into one rewarehouse entry if the 

warehouse withdrawals are from the same original warehouse entry.

    (2) Shipments covered by multiple warehouse entries, and shipped 

from a single warehouse under separate withdrawals for transportation, 

via a single conveyance, may be combined into one rewarehouse entry if 

consigned to the same consignee and deposited into a single warehouse. 

With the exception of alcohol and tobacco products, this procedure shall 

not be allowed for merchandise which is in any way restricted (for 

example, quota/visa). The combined rewarehouse entry shall have attached 

either copies of each warehouse entry package which is being combined 

into the single rewarehouse entry or a summary with pertinent 

information, that is, the date of importation, commodity description, 

size, HTSUS and entry numbers, for all entries withdrawn for 

consolidation as one rewarehouse entry. Any combining of separate 

withdrawals into one rewarehouse entry shall result in the rewarehouse 

entry being assigned the import date of the oldest entry being combined 

into the rewarehouse entry.

    (3) Combining of separate shipments shall be prohibited in all other 

circumstances.

    (d) Bond. A bond on Customs Form 301, containing the bond conditions 

set forth in Sec.  113.62 of this chapter shall be filed before a permit 

is issued on Customs Form 7501 for sending the merchandise to the bonded 

warehouse. However, no bond shall be required if the merchandise is 

entered by the consignee named in the original bond filed at the 

original port of entry, or if it is entered by a transferee who has 

established his right to withdraw the merchandise and has filed a bond 

in accordance with subpart C of this part.

    (e) Value and classification. The duties determined at the port 

where the original warehouse entry was filed shall be the duties 

chargeable under the rewarehouse entry, except in the cases provided for 

in Sec. Sec.  159.7 (a) and (b) of this chapter, which pertain to 

certain classes of merchandise excluded from the liquidation of the 

original warehouse entry and merchandise on which rates of duty or tax 

are changed by an act of Congress or by a proclamation by the President.

    (f) Examination. Any examination necessary for identification of the 

merchandise, determination of shortages, or other purposes shall be 

made.

    (g) Failure to enter. If the rewarehouse entry is not filed within 

15 calendar days after its arrival, the merchandise shall be disposed of 

in accordance with the applicable procedures in Sec.  4.37 or Sec.  

122.50 or Sec.  123.10 of this chapter. However, merchandise sent to a 

general order warehouse shall not be sold or otherwise disposed of as 

unclaimed until the expiration of the original 5-year period during 

which the merchandise may remain in warehouse under bond.

    (h) Protest. A protest may be filed at the port where the 

rewarehouse entry is made against a liquidation made at that port under 

Sec.  159.7 (a) or (b) of this chapter, or against a refusal of the 

director of that port to liquidate pursuant to said sections. In all 

other cases, any protest shall be filed against the original warehouse 

entry.
