                  Subpart B_Requirements and Procedures

 

Sec.  145.14  Marking requirements.



    (a) Country of origin. Merchandise imported by mail shall be marked 

with the country of origin in accordance with part 134 of this chapter. 

If merchandise without the required marking is to be delivered from the 

post office where it has been given Customs examination, the Customs 

officer shall require compliance with the marking law and regulations. 

If it is to be delivered from another post office, the Customs officer 

shall place in the envelope containing the mail entry a copy of Customs 

Form 3475, containing instructions to the postmaster concerning the 

marking to be required before delivery.

    (b) Other marking requirements. Certain types of merchandise are 

subject to special marking requirements, such as those contained in the 

Textile Fiber Products Identification Act, the Wool Products Labeling 

Act, and the Trademark Act. Since there is no provision for post office 

supervision of these types of marking, the port director shall require 

compliance with the law and regulations (see parts 11 and 133 of this 

chapter).

    (c) Failure to mark. If the addressee fails to comply with the 

marking requirements, the mail article will be treated as undeliverable 

in accordance with Sec.  145.5.
