the repairs or alterations; the value of the article and the repairs or 
alterations; and a declaration by the owner, importer, consignee, or 
agent having knowledge of the pertinent facts. The information in this 
declaration is used by CBP to determine the value of the repairs or 
alterations, and to assess duty only on the value of those repairs or 
alterations.
