Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Holders or Containers Which Enter the United States Duty
Free.
OMB Number: 1651-0035.

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

Type of Review: Extension (with no change).
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: Items 9801.00.10 and 9803.00.50 under the Harmonized
Tariff Schedules of the United States (HTSUS), codified as 19 U.S.C.
1202, provides for the duty-free entry of substantial holders or
containers of foreign manufacture if duty had been paid upon a previous
importation pursuant to the provisions of 19 CFR 10.41b.
19 CFR 10.41b provides that substantial holders or containers are
to have prescribed markings in clear and conspicuous letters of such a
size that they will be easily discernable. Section 10.41b of the CBP
regulations eliminates the need for an importer to file entry documents
by instead requiring the marking of the containers or holders to
indicate the HTSUS numbers that provide for duty free treatment of the
containers or holders.
In order to comply with 19 CFR 10.41b in the case of serially
numbered holders or containers of United States manufacture for which
free clearance under 9801.00.10 HTSUS is claimed, the owner of the
holder or container is required to place the markings on a metal tag or
plate containing the following information: 9801.00.10, HTSUS; the name
of the owner; and the serial number assigned by the owner. In the case
of serially numbered holders or containers of foreign manufacture for
which free clearance under 9803.00.50 HTSUS is claimed, the owner must
place markings containing the following information: 9803.00.50 HTSUS;
the port code numbers of the port of entry; the entry number; the last
two digits of the fiscal year of entry covering the importation of the
holders and containers on which duty was paid; the name of the owner;
and the serial number assigned by the owner.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 20.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 18.
Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 360.
Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 90.
