In-Bond Merchandise

Any merchandise, other than explosives and merchandise the importation of which is prohibited, arriving at a port of entry in the United States may be entered, under such rules and regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe, for transportation in-bond without appraisement to any other port of entry designated by the consignee, or his agent, and by such bonded carrier as he designates, there to be entered in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Pursuant to Public Resolution 108, of June 19, 1936, (19 U.S.C. 1551, 1551a) and subject to compliance with all other applicable provisions, the port director, upon the request of the party in interest, may permit merchandise entered and examined for Customs purposes to be transported in bond between ports by bonded cartmen or lightermen duly qualified if the port director is satisfied that the transportation of such merchandise in this manner will not endanger the revenue.
