carriers to declare articles to be retained on board the vessel, such

departure, and the articles on the ship. It is pursuant to the 
provisions of section 432, Tariff Act of 1930 and provided for by 19 
CFR 4.7, 4.7a, 4.81, 4.85, & 4.87. This form is accessible at http://forms.cbp.gov/pdf/CBP_Form_1303.pdf.
