a shipment) i.e., vessel (including ferry), air, or other, shall be indicated by check mark in the appropriate space. For shipments by means of transportation other than vessel or air the specific method of transportation (rail, truck, pipeline, etc.) used should be entered. "Other" should be checked for exported aircraft being flown away, vessels exported under their own power or afloat, or for other vehicles exported other than aboard another carrier, and the manner in which exported should be specified, e.g., "flown away," "in tow," etc.

(c) Exporting carrier. Information concerning the specific exporting carrier shall be reported as follows:

(1) For shipments by vessel, the name and flag nationality of the ship and the number or name of the pier at which the goods were laden shall be shown.

(2) For shipments by air, the name of the airline shall be reported.

(3) For shipments by other than vessel or air, the carrier shall be identified by name and number or other available designation.

In all cases, the information shall be furnished as to the carrier which transports the merchandise to a foreign country or to an ultimate destination in a nonforeign area, and not as to a different carrier which may have transported the goods to the seaport, airport, or border port of export for final shipment.

(d) Exporter. In general, the exporter named on the export declaration shall be the principal or seller in the export transaction. For exports moving under validated license, the exporter named on the Shipper's Export Declaration shall be the licensee named on the validated export license. The address of the exporter (number, street, place, state) shall be shown. (On Form 7513, if an authorized agent is representing the exporter, the name of the exporter as defined herein should be shown on the line labeled "For account of," where "Principal or seller" is indicated below the line on the form.)

(e) Agent of exporter (forwarding agent). The name and address of the duly authorized forwarding agent (if any) of the exporter shall be stated. (See 830.4.) (On Form 7513, the information as to agent (if any) should be shown on the line labeled "Exporter," where "Actual shipper or agent" is indicated below the line on the form.)

(f) Ultimate consignee. The name and address (place, country) of the ultimate consignee whether by sale in the United States or abroad or by consignment shall be stated on the export declaration. For exports to foreign countries, the ultimate consignee shall be the same person so designated in the validated export license or authorized to be ultimate consignee under the applicable general license in conformity with export control regulations.

(g) Intermediate consignee. The name and address of the intermediate consignee (if any) shall be stated. For exports to foreign countries, the intermediate consignee shall be the person named as such in the validated export license or authorized to act as such under the applicable general license and in conformity with the export control regulations. If there is no intermediate consignee, the word "none" shall be entered on the Shipper's Export Declaration. (On Form 7513 the name and address of the intermediate consignee (if any) in a foreign country must be shown below the description of commodities across columns 1 through 6.)

For

(h) Foreign port of unloading. shipments by vessel and by air the foreign port and country of unloading (i.e., the foreign port and country at which the merchandise will be unladen from the exporting carrier) shall be shown on the Shipper's Export Declaration in addition to the country of ultimate destination. The reporting of "optional" ports of unloading is not permissible except as provided in the export control regulations. Where optional ports of unloading are named on the Shipper's Export Declaration under the permissible conditions, a Shipper's Export Declaration Correction Form (Form FT-7403) indicating the actual port of unloading shall be filed by the exporter or his agent with the Customs Director as soon as the actual port of unloading is known to the exporter. Information as to port of unloading is required for shipments by vessel and air only.

(1) Place and country of destination. Country of destination shall be reported on the Shipper's Export Declaration in terms of the names designated in Schedule C, "Classification of Country Designations Used in Compiling the United

• See Comprehensive Export Schedule. (See footnote 2 above.)

States Foreign Trade Statistics," as follows:

(1) For shipments under validated export licenses, the place (city) and country of ultimate destination shown on the export declaration shall conform to the country of ultimate destination as shown on the license.

(2) For shipments not moving under validated export license, the final place (city) and country of ultimate destination as known to the exporter at the time of exportation shall be shown on the export declaration. "Country of ultimate destination" means the country in which the goods are to be consumed or further processed or manufactured. The country to which the goods are being shipped is not the country of ultimate destination for purposes of preparing the Shipper's Export Declaration if the exporter has knowledge at the time the goods leave the United States that they are intended for reexport or transshipment in their present form to another known country. For goods shipped to Canada, Panama, Hong Kong, Belgium, or The Netherlands for example, special care should be exercised before reporting these countries as the ultimate destination, since these are countries through which merchandise from the United States is frequently transshipped. If the shipper does not know the ultimate destination of the goods, the country of destination to be shown on the export declaration is the last country, as known to the exporter at the time of shipment from the United States, to which the goods are to be shipped in their present form. (For instructions as to the reporting of country of destination for vessels sold or transferred from the United States to foreign ownership, see § 30.33.)

(j) Marks and numbers. For purposes of identification of the export declaration with the merchandise it covers, the marks, numbers, or other identification shown on the packages should be inserted. This information is not required for shipments by mail inasmuch as the declaration is presented to the Postmaster with the packages being mailed.

(k) Number and kind of packages. The number and kind of packages (1.e., boxes, barrels, baskets, bales, etc.) shall be stated.

(1) Description of commodities and Schedule B number. (1) The correct commodity number as provided in Schedule B, "Statistical Classification of Domestic and Foreign Commodities Exported from the United States," shall be entered in the space provided on the Shipper's Export Declaration form, and a description of the merchandise shall be supplied in the "Description of Commodities" column in sufficient detail to permit the verification of the Schedule B commodity number. (For shipments from Puerto Rico to the United States, Schedule P, "Commodity Classification for Reporting Shipments from Puerto Rico to the United States," is substituted for Schedule B.) The name of the commodity, in terms which can be identified or associated with the language used in Schedule B (usually the commercial name of the commodity), and any and all characteristics of the commodity which distinguish it from commodities of the same name covered by other Schedule B classifications shall be clearly and fully stated. Careful reference to the Schedule B classification scheme for related commodities, as well as for the commodity being shipped, is necessary in order to establish which particular characteristics must be stated in the description to permit verification of the correct Schedule B commodity number and to eliminate any question that some other commodity number might apply. A description of commodities in the kind of detail specified above is a separate requirement, and the furnishing of the correct Schedule B commodity number does not relieve the exporter of furnishing, in addition, a complete and accurate commodity description in accordance with this requirement. If the shipment is moving under a validated license, the description shown on the export declaration shall conform with that shown on the validated export license. However, where the description on the license does not state all of the characteristics of the commodity which are needed to completely verify the commodity number, as described above, the missing characteristics, as well as the description shown on the license, shall be stated in the commodity description on the Shipper's Export Declaration.

(2) For Schedule B commodity numbers for which the classification description in Schedule B is followed by instructions such as "Specify by name,"

"State species," etc., the specific name of the item or a further identifying description of the item, in addition to the information required by subparagraph (1) of this paragraph, shall be shown. Where a single Shipper's Export Declaration covers more than one item classifiable under a single one of the classifications carrying the "Specify by name" or similar requirement, separate quantities, values, and shipping weights for the individual items are not required by this part. However, each item should be separately enumerated in Column (10), except that if more than five items are involved, all classifiable under one Schedule B number, only the five items of greatest value in the classification are required to be separately enumerated.

(3) Further explanations regarding the description of commodities and Schedule B number requirements are furnished on the reverse side of the export declaration, in the introduction to Schedule B, and in the pamphlet "Correct Way to Fill Out the Shipper's Export Declaration."

(4) Directions for locating the correct Schedule B commodity number will be found in the introduction to Schedule B. The introduction to Schedule B also contains an explanation regarding use of trade names on Shipper's Export Declarations and a description of special provisions for the classification of certain types of commodities, such as items of mixed materials, used or second-hand items, parts for machinery and equipment, filled metal shipping containers of particular types, toys, military equipment, relief and charity shipments, and shipments valued less than $100. Shippers may consult their local Customs Director, Department of Commerce Field Offices (located in principal cities), the New York Office, Foreign Trade Branch, Processing Division, Bureau of the Census, 434 Customhouse, New York, N.Y. 10004, or write to the Foreign Trade Division, Bureau of the Census, for assistance in determining the correct Schedule B commodity numbers for their shipments.

(m) Export license number and expiration date (or general license symbol). For exports to foreign countries the export license number and expiration date, or the general license symbol shall be shown below the description of the commodity.

(n) Net quantity. Where a unit of quantity is specified in Schedule B for

the commodity number in which the item is classified, net quantity is required to be reported in the specified unit, and the unit in which reported should be indicated on the declaration following the net quantity figure. Where the unit of quantity specified in Schedule B is "No." (number), "Each" or the abbreviation "Ea." may be indicated on the declaration as the unit of quantity. If no unit of quantity is specified in Schedule B for a numbered classification, but a validated export license for the item specifies a unit of quantity, the net quantity shall be reported on the declaration in terms of the unit of quantity specified in the validated license. If neither Schedule B nor an applicable validated license specifies unit of quantity for the item, net quantity is not required to be reported, and a dash (—) should be entered in the "net quantity" column on the Shipper's Export Declaration. Where Schedule B calls for two units of quantity, net quantity shall be reported in terms of both units. Where the specified unit is in terms of weight (ounces, pounds, etc.) the net quantity should reflect the net weight exclusive of the weight of barrels, boxes, or other bulky coverings, and exclusive of salt or pickle in the case of salted or pickled fish or meats. Note, however, that for a few commodities where "content lb.," "dry weight," or some similar weight unit is specified in Schedule B, the net quantity to be reported on the Shipper's Export Declaration may be less than the net weight. In the expression of net quantities, fractions of one-half unit or upward will be counted as a whole unit, and fractions of less than one-half unit will be ignored, except that where the total net quantity is less than one-half of the unit prescribed for the commodity in Schedule B "Less than one-half (unit)" should be reported. (For example, where the unit for a given commodity is in terms of "M board feet," a net quantity of 8,400 board feet would be reported as "8 M bd. ft." and a net quantity of 900 board feet would be reported as "1 M bd. ft."; however, a total net quantity of 450 board feet should not be ignored but should be reported as "less than one-half M bd. ft.".)

(0) Gross (shipping) weight. In addition to specifying the net quantity in the units required by Schedule B, the gross shipping weight in pounds, including the weight of containers, shall be shown for all shipments by vessel and

If

air. However, for containerized cargo in lift vans, cargo vans, or similar substantial outer containers, the weight of such containers should not be included in the gross weight of the commodities. gross shipping weight information is not available for individual Schedule B items for the reason that commodities covered by more than one Schedule B number are contained in the same shipping container, approximate shipping weights, estimated as accurately as is practicable, may be shown on the Shipper's Export Declarations for each Schedule B item in the container. The total of the estimated weights must equal the actual shipping weight of the entire container or containers and contents. Gross shipping weight is not required for shipments by mail or for shipments by methods of transportation other than vessel or air.

(p) "D" (Domestic) or “F” (Foreign). (1) The export declaration covering exports to foreign countries shall show foreign goods separately from goods of domestic production. Exports of foreign merchandise include those commodities which are the growth, produce, or manufacture of foreign countries which entered the United States as imports and which at the time of exportation have undergone no change in form or condition or enhancement in value by further manufacture in the United States, Puerto Rico, or U.S. Possessions.

(2) Exports of domestic merchandise include those commodities which are the growth, produce, or manufacture of the United States, Puerto Rico, or U.S. Possessions (including commodities incorporating foreign components), and those articles of foreign origin which have been enhanced in value or changed from the form in which imported by further manufacture or processing in the United States, Puerto Rico, or U.S. Possessions.

(3) The above distinction between domestic and foreign merchandise is intended only for use in reporting on the Shipper's Export Declaration and is intended for statistical purposes only.

(4) On the Shipper's Export Declaration in the column headed "Specify 'D' or "F"," domestic merchandise shall be identified by the designation "D" and foreign merchandise shall be identified by the designation "F." On the Shipper's Export Declaration for InTransit Goods, Form 7513, one of the following statements, whichever is appropriate, shall be shown across the body of the form within columns 1 through 6:

(i) For in-transit shipments of domestic (United States) merchandise, “The merchandise described herein is of the growth, production or manufacture of the United States;" and (ii) for intransit shipments of foreign merchandise, "The merchandise described herein is of foreign origin."

(q) Value. (1) In general, value shall be reported on the Shipper's Export Declaration in accordance with the definition at the top of the value column on the regular Shipper's Export Declaration (Commerce Form 7525-V): "Value at U.S. Port of Export (Selling price or cost if not sold, including inland freight, insurance and other charges to U.S. port of export) (Nearest whole dollar; omit cents figures)." "Selling price" for goods exported pursuant to sale is the exporter's price to his customer net of any unconditional discounts from list price, but without deducting any discounts which are conditional upon a particular act or performance on the part of the customer. Commissions to be paid by a U.S. exporter to his agent abroad, or to be deducted from the selling price by the exporter's agent abroad should be excluded. For goods shipped on consignment without a sale actually having been made at the time of export, the "selling price" to be reported on the Shipper's Export Declaration is the market value at the time of export at the United States port from which exported.

(2) The value reported on the Shipper's Export Declaration shall exclude: The cost of loading on the exporting vessel, aircraft, car or vehicle at the port of exportation; freight, insurance, and any other charges or transportation costs beyond the port of export; and any duties, taxes, or other assessments imposed by foreign countries. The value reported shall include inland or domestic freight or other charges to the seaport, airport, or border port of exportation.

(3) The value to be reported as defined above is (or is equivalent to) an f.a.s. (Free alongside ship) value. Therefore, where goods are sold f.o.b. a U.S. point other than the port of exportation freight, insurance, and other costs to the border, sea, or airport of exportation shall be added to the selling price (as defined above) for purposes of reporting value on the Shipper's Export Declaration. If the actual amount of such domestic costs is not available, an estimate of the domestic costs shall be added. Where goods are sold at a "de

livered" price, c.i.f. foreign destination, the cost of loading on the exporting carrier at the port of exportation, if any, and freight, insurance, and other costs beyond the port of exportation should be subtracted from the price for purposes of reporting value on the Shipper's Export Declaration. If the actual amount of such costs is not available, an estimate of the costs should be subtracted. Costs added to or subtracted from the selling price in accordance with the above instructions should not be itemized or shown separately on the Shipper's Export Declaration, but the value reported should be the value after the making of such adjustments, where they are required to arrive at “value at U.S. port of export." In the expression of values in export declarations, fractions of a dollar less than 50 cents should be ignored, and fractions of 50 cents or upward should be counted as $1.

(4) For definitions of the value to be shown on the Shipper's Export Declaration for special types of transactions where the commodities are not being exported pursuant to commercial sales, or where subsidies, Government financing or participation, or other unusual conditions are involved, see § 30.30.

(r) Date of exportation. Information as to date of exportation is not required to be reported for shipments by vessel or by mail. For other shipments, the date of departure (or date of clearance, if date of departure is not known) shall be shown on the Shipper's Export Declaration as the date of exportation.

(s) Designation of agent and signature. For information regarding the use of the space provided on Form 7525-V and 7525-V-Alternate for authorization of agent, and for requirements as to signature, see § 30.4.

§ 30.8 Additional information required on Shipper's Export Declaration for In-Transit Goods (Form 7513).

In addition to the information required under § 30.7, the following information shall be shown on the Shipper's Export Declaration for In-Transit Goods, Form 7513:

(a) U.S. port of arrival. The U.S. port at which the merchandise covered by the declaration arrived from a foreign country shall be shown.

(b) Country from which shipped. The name of the foreign country where the goods were loaded on the carrier which transported the merchandise to the United States from a foreign country shall be indicated.

(c) Date of arrival. The date on which the merchandise arrived in the United States shall be entered.

(d) Country of origin. The name of the country of origin as defined in § 30.70 (f) shall be indicated.

§ 30.9

Requirements for separation and alignment of items on Shipper's Export Declarations.

For each Schedule B classification (see § 30.7(1)) for which merchandise is included in the shipment, a separate item shall be shown on the Shipper's Export Declaration and the separate description of commodities, shipping weight, "D" or "F" designation, Schedule B commodity number, net quantity and value for the item shall be correctly aligned horizontally, and clearly distinguishable from information applying to other Schedule B items on the same declaration. However, where merchandise covered by a single Schedule B classification is moving under more than one general license, under more than one validated export license, or under a validated export license which shows two or more listings for the same Schedule B number, a separate item shall be shown on the Shipper's Export Declaration for each license or for each listing on the license." For merchandise moving under validated license, information required by export control regulations as to export license number and expiration date, and information as to whether the export is a partial or complete shipment against the license, shall be shown immediately below the corresponding description of commodities on the Shipper's Export Declaration. Where two or more items are classified under the same Schedule B number and moving under the same general license, or where no license is required, the quantities, values and shipping weights of such invoice items, wherever practical, should be combined and the information shown on a single horizontal line of the Shipper's Export Declaration. Commodities of U.S. man

See § 30.6 for prohibition against reporting general license commodities on the same Shipper's Export Declaration with commodities moving under a validated license.
