Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Holders or Containers Which Enter the United States Duty
Free.
OMB Number: 1651-0035.
Form Number: N/A.
Current Actions: Extension without change.
Type of Review: Extension (without change).
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: Subheading 9803.00.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS), codified as 19 U.S.C. 1202, provide for
the release without entry or the payment of duty of certain substantial
holders or containers pursuant to the provisions of 19 CFR 10.41b.
19 CFR 10.41b eliminates the need for an importer to file entry
documents by instead requiring, among other things, the marking of the
containers or holders to indicate the HTSUS numbers that provide for
duty-free treatment of the containers or holders.
For U.S. manufactured serially numbered holders or containers which
may be released without entry or the payment of duty under 9801.00.10
HTSUS, 19 CFR 10.41b(c) requires the owner to place the following
markings on the holder or container: 9801.00.10, HTSUS (unless the
holder or container has a permanently attached metal tag or plate
showing, among other things, the name and address of the U.S.
manufacturer); the name of the owner; and the serial number assigned by
the owner. For serially numbered holders or containers of foreign
manufacture for which may be released without entry or payment of duty
under 9803.00.50 HTSUS, 19 CFR 10.41b(d) requires the owner to place
markings containing the following information: 9803.00.50 HTSUS; the
district and 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.
This collection of information applies to the importing and trade
community which is familiar with import procedures and with the CBP
regulations.
Type of Information Collection: Holders/Containers Entering U.S.
Duty-Free.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 20.
Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 18.
Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 360.
Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 90.
