RE: REPORTING OF ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE ON CF 7501
PASS TO: ALL CUSTOMS PERSONNEL, BROKERS, FILERS AND OTHER
INTERESTED PARTIES
ON SEPTEMBER 18, 1992, CUSTOMS DIRECTIVE #099 3550-061
"INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF CF 7501", WAS ISSUED. THIS
DIRECTIVE SUPERSEDED CUSTOMS DIRECTIVE #3550-33 DATED MAY 24,
1989.
THE INSTRUCTION IN THE NEW DIRECTIVE FOR BLOCK #9 (ULTIMATE
CONSIGNEE NAME AND ADDRESS) ON THE CF 7501 STATES THE FOLLOWING:
"FOR A PERIOD OF 90 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF ISSUANCE OF THIS
DIRECTIVE, RECORD THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE INDIVIDUAL OR
FIRM FOR WHOSE ACCOUNT THE MERCHANDISE IS SHIPPED. IF THIS
INFORMATION IS THE SAME AS THE IMPORTER OF RECORD, LEAVE
BLANK". EFFECTIVE ON THE 91ST DAY FROM THE DATE OF THE
ISSUANCE OF THIS DIRECTIVE, RECORD THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF
THE INDIVIDUAL OR FIRM PURCHASING THE MERCHANDISE OR, IF A
CONSIGNED SHIPMENT TO WHOM THE MERCHANDISE IS CONSIGNED, OR
IF THOSE PARTIES ARE NOT KNOWN, TO WHOSE PREMISES THE
MERCHANDISE IS BEING SHIPPED. IF THIS INFORMATION IS THE
SAME AS THE IMPORTER OF RECORD, LEAVE BLANK."
AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE REPORTING
OF THE ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE AS DEFINED BY THE INSTRUCTION EFFECTIVE
ON THE 91ST DAY WOULD CAUSE AN UNDUE BURDEN ON THE IMPORTING
COMMUNITY.
THEREFORE, THE SECOND PART OF THE INSTRUCTION FOR BLOCK #9 ON THE
CF 7501 IS RESCINDED. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY AS WELL AS ON THE
91ST DAY FROM THE DATE OF THE ISSUANCE OF DIRECTIVE #099 3550-
061, FILERS WILL REPORT THE ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE ON THE CF 7501 AS
THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE INDIVIDUAL OR FIRM FOR WHOSE ACCOUNT
THE MERCHANDISE IS SHIPPED. ACCORDINGLY, A CHANGE NOTICE TO THE
NEW DIRECTIVE WILL BE FORTHCOMING.
QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS INSTRUCTION SHOULD BE REFERRED TO THE
COLLECTIONS/STATISTICS BRANCH AT (202) 927-0801, 927-0418, OR
927-0051.
