PART 18_TRANSPORTATION IN BOND AND MERCHANDISE IN TRANSIT--Table of 

Contents

 

Sec.  18.25  Direct exportation.



    (a) Except as otherwise provided for in subpart F of part 145 of 

this chapter, relating to exportations by mail, when no entry has been 

made or completed for merchandise in Customs custody, or when the 

merchandise is covered by an unliquidated consumption entry, or when 

merchandise which has been entered in good faith is found to be 

prohibited under any law of the United States, and such merchandise is 

to be exported directly without transportation to another port, four 

copies of Customs Form 7512 shall be filed. If a TIR carnet covers the 

merchandise which is to be exported directly without transportation, the 

carnet shall be discharged or canceled, as appropriate (see part 114 of 

this chapter), and four copies of Form 7512 shall be filed. The port 

director may require an extra copy or copies of Form 7512 to be 

furnished for use in connection with delivery of the merchandise to the 

carrier named in the entry. If an A.T.A. carnet covers the merchandise 

which is to be exported directly without transportation, the carnet 

shall be discharged by the certification of the appropriate 

transportation and reexportation vouchers by Customs officers as 

necessary.

    (b) A bond on Customs Form 301, containing the bond conditions set 

forth in Sec.  113.63 of this chapter, shall be required. (See also 

Sec.  158.45 of this chapter.)

    (c) If the merchandise has been landed or is transferred from one 

vessel to another and has not been entered for consumption or, in the 

case of goods entered for consumption and rejected, such export 

declaration as required by Sec.  30.3(a)(2) of the Foreign Trade 

Statistics Regulations (15 CFR 30.3(a)(2)) shall be filed.

    (d) If the merchandise is exported in the importing vessel without 

landing, a representative of the exporting carrier who has knowledge of 

the facts shall certify that the merchandise entered for exportation was 

not discharged during the vessel's stay in port. A charge shall be made 

against the continuous bond on Customs Form 301, containing the bond 

conditions set forth in Sec.  113.64 of this chapter, if on file, or if 

a continuous bond is not on file, a single entry bond containing the 

bond conditions set forth in Sec.  113.64 shall be required as in the 

case of residue cargo for foreign ports. If the merchandise is covered 

by a TIR carnet, the carnet shall not be taken on charge (see Sec.  

114.22(c)(2) of this chapter).

    (e) The principal on any bond filed to guarantee direct exportation 

shall cause the merchandise to be exported and provide such evidence of 

exportation as required by the port director under Sec.  113.55 of this 

chapter within 30 days of exportation.

    (f) Gunpowder and other explosive substances, the deposit of which 

in any public store or bonded warehouse is prohibited by law, may be 

entered on arrival from a foreign port for immediate exportation in bond 

by sea, but shall be transferred directly from the importing to the 

exporting vessel.
