Sec.  151.8  Examination after assembly.



    (a) Application by importer. Upon application by the importer, 

machinery, altars, shrines, and other articles which must be set up or 

assembled prior to examination may be examined at the mill, factory, or 

other suitable place after being assembled.

    (b) Conditions applicable. The importer shall comply with the 

conditions set forth in Sec.  151.7 (b) through (d). The port director 

may also require that a deposit be made of the estimated additional 

expense. The packages need not be corded and sealed in accordance with 

Sec.  151.7(a), but the port director may make such preliminary 

examination as he deems necessary to identify the merchandise with the 

invoice.

    (c) Removal of merchandise and notification of assembly. After the 

bond required by Sec.  151.7(d) has been filed and any necessary 

preliminary examination has been made, the port director may permit the 

merchandise to be removed to the place at which it is to be assembled 

for examination. Within 90 days after such removal, unless an extension 

has been applied for and granted by the port director, the importer 

shall notify the port director that the merchandise has been assembled 

and is ready for examination, whereupon final examination shall be made.
