    Abstract: Travelers who do not have proof of prior possession in

assessed duty on these items can register them prior to departing on 
travel. In order to register these articles, the traveler must complete 
CBP Form 4457, Certificate of Registration for Personal Effects Taken 
Abroad, and present it at the port at the time of export for 
examination of the articles of foreign origin and verification of the 
description. After the official has signed the document, it will be 
returned to the applicant for signature, for presentation to CBP upon 
return to United States, and for subsequent reuse. CBP Form 4457 is 
accessible at: http://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=4457&=Apply.
    CBP Form 4455, Certificate of Registration, is used primarily for 
the registration, examination, and supervised lading of commercial 
shipments of articles exported for repair, alteration, or processing, 
which will subsequently be returned to the United States either duty 
free or at a reduced duty rate. The CBP Form 4455 may be required when 
a person, wishing to claim the status of a nonresident upon arrival for 
a short visit to the United States before returning abroad, imports 
articles free of duty under subheadings 9804.00.20, 9804.00.25, 
9804.00.30, 9804.00.35, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS) (19 U.S.C. 1202). It may also be used for the replacement of 
articles previously exempted from duty when the unsatisfactory articles 
are exported under the provisions 9804.00.75 and fall under the $800 or 
$1,00 exemption limits. The export and return of theatrical scenery, 
properties, motion-picture films and effects or tools of a trade 
occupation or employment of domestic or foreign origin must also be 
reported on CBP Form 4555. The CBP Form 4455, may also be required in 
any case in which CBP Form 4457 will not adequately serve the purpose 
of registration. CBP Form 4455 must be presented to CBP for examination 
of the articles and verification of the articles' description. After 
the official has signed the document, it will be returned to the 
applicant for signature, for presentation to CBP upon return to United 
States, and for subsequent reuse. CBP Form 4455 is accessible at: 
http://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=4455&=Apply.
