Sec.  151.41  Information on entry summary.





    On the entry summary for petroleum or petroleum products in bulk, 

the importer shall show the API gravity at 60[deg] Fahrenheit, in 

accordance with the current edition of the ASTM-IP Petroleum Measurement 

Tables (American Edition), approved by the American Society for Testing 

and Materials. The appropriate unabridged table shall be used in the 

reduction of volume to 60[deg] F. If the exact volumetric quantity 

cannot be determined in advance, the entry summary may be made for ``--

-- barrels, more or less'', but in no case may the estimate vary by more 

than three percent from the gross quantity unladen. The term ``barrels'' 

is defined in Chapter 27, Additional U.S. Note 7, Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States. The information required by this section 

also shall be shown on the entry summary permit if the entry summary is 

filed at the time of entry, and on each entry summary continuation sheet 

regardless of when the entry summary is filed.
