    Abstract: CBP Form 4455, Certificate of Registration, is used

    Travelers who do not have proof of prior possession in the United 
States of foreign made articles and who do not want to be assessed duty 
on these items can register them prior to departing on travel. To 
register these articles, the traveler completes CBP Form 4457, 
Certificate of Registration for Personal Effects Taken Abroad, and 
presents it at the port at the time of export. This form must be signed 
in the presence of a CBP official after verification of the description 
of the articles is completed. CBP Form 4457 is accessible at: http://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=4457&=Apply.
