              Subpart F_Transfer of Merchandise From a Zone

 

Sec.  146.70  Transfer of zone-restricted merchandise into Customs 

territory.



    (a) General. Zone-restricted merchandise may be transferred to 

Customs territory only for entry for exportation, for entry for 

transportation and exportation, for warehousing pending exportation, for 

destruction (except destruction of distilled spirits, wines and 

fermented malt liquors), for transfer from one zone to another, or for 

delivery to a qualified vessel or aircraft or as ground equipment of a 

qualified aircraft under section 309 or 317, Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1309, 1317), unless the Board has ruled that the 

return of the merchandise to Customs territory for domestic consumption 

is in the public interest. With Board approval (See 15 CFR part 400), 

that merchandise may be entered for consumption, for warehousing, for 

immediate transportation without appraisement, or under any other 

provision of the Customs laws, unless the Board has specified the form 

of entry to be made.

    (b) For consumption. If the return of zone-restricted merchandise to 

Customs territory for consumption has been ruled by the Board to be in 

the public interest, the entry shall be endorsed by the port director to 

show the authority under which it was made, and that the merchandise is 

subject to the provisions of Chapter 98, Subchapter I, Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202).

    (c) For warehousing. Zone-restricted merchandise may be transferred 

from a zone to a Customs bonded warehouse for storage pending 

exportation. The Customs Form 7501 shall be endorsed by the port 

director to show that the merchandise may not be withdrawn for 

consumption. In the case of zone-restricted merchandise transported in 

bond to another port for warehousing and exportation, Customs Form 7512 

shall be endorsed by the port director to show that the merchandise is 

foreign trade zone merchandise in zone-restricted status, which shall be 

entered for warehouse with proper endorsement on Customs Form 7501, and 

which may not be withdrawn for consumption. Zone-restricted merchandise 

transferred from a zone to a Customs bonded warehouse may not be 

manipulated, except for packing or unpacking incidental to exportation.

    (d) For other purposes. Upon acceptance of an entry or withdrawal 

for zone-restricted merchandise for any purpose other than that 

described in a Board order, the entry shall be endorsed by the person 

making entry to show that actual exportation of the merchandise is 

required by the fourth proviso to section 3 of the Act, as amended, or 

the entry endorsed to require delivery to a qualified vessel or 

aircraft, under section 309 or 317, Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 

U.S.C. 1309, 1317).
