Sec.  146.68  Transfer for transportation or exportation; estimated

    (a) Weekly permit. The port director may allow the person making 

entry for merchandise provided for in Sec.  146.63(c) to file an 

application for a weekly permit to enter and release merchandise during 

a calendar week for exportation, transportation, or transportation and 

exportation. The application will be on Customs Form 7512 stating at the 

top the words ``Application for Weekly Zone Permit,'' and will be filed 

with the port director. The application must be accompanied by a pro 

forma invoice or schedule like that required in Sec.  146.63(c)(1). If 

actual transfers will exceed the estimate for the week, the person with 

the right to make entry shall file a supplemental Customs Form 7512 to 

cover the additional merchandise to be transferred from the subzone or 

zone site. No merchandise covered by the weekly permit may be 

transferred from the zone before approval of the application by the port 

director.

    (b) Individual entries. After approval of the application for a 

weekly permit by the port director, the person making entry will be 

authorized to execute individual Customs Forms 7512 for exportation, 

transportation, or transportation and exportation of the merchandise 

covered by permit. Upon transfer of the merchandise, the operator shall 

obtain a receipt from the carrier on Customs Form 7512 to ensure its 

assumption of liability under the carrier's or cartman's bond. Customs 

will consider the time of entry to be when the removing carrier signs 

the receipt for the merchandise. The operator shall give the bonded 

carrier a copy of the individual Customs Form 7512, as provided for in 

Sec.  18.2(c) of this chapter. The operator also shall ensure that the 

port director receives a copy of the Customs Form 7512 by the end of the 

next working day after the carrier has receipted for the merchandise.

    (c) Statement of merchandise entered. The person making entry for 

merchandise under an approved weekly permit shall file with the port 

director, by the close of business on the second working day of the week 

following the week designated on the permit, a statement of the 

merchandise entered under that permit. The statement must list each 

Customs Form 7512 by its unique I.T. number, and will provide a 

reconciliation of the quantities on the weekly permit with the 

manifested quantities on the individual Customs Forms 7512 submitted to 

Customs, as well as an explanation of any discrepancy.
