    Abstract: CBP Form 3495, Application for Exportation of Articles 
Under Special Bond, is an application for exportation of articles 
entered under temporary bond pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1202, Chapter 98, 
subchapter XIII, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, and

based on a temporary stay in this country. It also serves as a permit 
to export in order to satisfy the importer's obligation to export the 
same goods and thereby get a duty exemption. This form is accessible

information collection with no change to the burden hours or to the
