SUBJECT: TIME FOR POSTING THE BULLETIN NOTICE OF LIQUIDATION
THE POSTING COPY OF THE BULLETIN NOTICE OF LIQUIDATION IS
GENERATED OVER THE WEEKEND, AND IS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE REMOTE
PRINT ON THE MONDAY PRIOR TO THE DAY OF LIQUIDATION (USUALLY THE
NEXT FRIDAY). IT HAS THE DATE OF THE OFFICIAL DAY OF LIQUIDTION,
EITHER THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY OR THE FOLLOWING MONDAY (IF FRIDAY IS
A HOLIDAY). THIS IS DONE TO GIVE CUSTOMS PERSONNEL 4 DAYS TO
VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF THE BULLETIN BEFORE IT IS POSTED.
UNDER SECTION 159.9(C) OF THE CUSTOMS REGULTIONS "THE
BULLETIN NOTICE OF LIQUIDATION SHALL BE DATED WITH THE DATE IT IS
POSTED OR LODGED IN THE CUSTOMHOUSE FOR THE INFORMATION OF
IMPORTERS". THE DATE OF POSTING IS THE LEGAL DAY OF LIQUIDATION.
CONSEQUENTLY, THE BULLETIN NOTICE SHOULD NOT BE MADE AVAILABLE TO
THE PUBLIC BEFORE THE OFFICIAL DAY OF LIQUIDATION, I.E. BEFORE
THE FRIDAY OR MONDAY (IF FRIDAY IS A HOLIDAY) AFTER IT FIRST
BECOMES AVAILABLE. ITS PREMATURE POSTING RESULTS IN A LEGAL
LIQUIDATION IN ADVANCE OF THE DATE WHICH IS ON THE BULLETIN AND
RECORDED IN THE OFFICIAL RECORD.
