SUBJECT: TBT-97-090 - REQUIRE SIGNATURE OF MANUFACTURER AND
CERTIFICATION BY IMPORTER - MACAU
COUNTRY: MACAU
REF: TBT-96-059
TBT-97-044
BACKGROUND:
TBT-96-059 ESTABLISHED A REQUIREMENT FOR TEXTILE
DECLARATIONS TO BE SIGNED BY THE ACTUAL MANUFACTURER AND A
REQUIREMENT FOR THE IMPORTER TO CERTIFY THAT THE TEXTILE
DECLARATIONS ARE ACCURATE FOR CERTAIN TEXTILE ARTICLES FROM
HONG KONG. TBT-97-044 EXTENDED THE REQUIREMENT TO ALL
ENTRIES OF TEXTILES AND TEXTILE PRODUCTS FROM HONG KONG AND
ADDED REQUIREMENTS THAT THE NAME OF THE ACTUAL PRODUCER(S)
MUST BE CONTAINED IN THE ENTRY PACKAGE.
ACTION:
EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 1, 1997, THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT
REQUIREMENTS, SIMILAR TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR HONG KONG, ARE
ESTABLISHED FOR MACAU FOR ALL TEXTILES AND TEXTILE PRODUCTS:
A. PURSUANT TO CUSTOMS REGULATION 12.130(G), THE NAME AND
ADDRESS OF THE ACTUAL PRODUCER(S) OF TEXTILES OR TEXTILE
PRODUCTS MUST BE CONTAINED IN THE ENTRY PACKAGE. PORT
DIRECTORS SHOULD ENCOURAGE FILERS TO USE THE MANUFACTURER
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (MID) FOR THE ACTUAL MANUFACTURER,
RATHER THAN USE THE MID OF THE TRADING COMPANY, SELLER OR
QUOTA HOLDER ON THE CF 7501 AND ABI LINE ITEM TRANSMISSION
TO EXPEDITE ENTRY PROCESSING.
B. THE COMPLETED TEXTILE DECLARATIONS REQUIRED BY CUSTOMS
REGULATION 12.130(F) SHALL BE SIGNED BY THE ACTUAL
MANUFACTURER OR PRODUCER OF THE GOODS. THE ORIGINAL
SIGNATURE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE FILED WITH THE ENTRY/ENTRY
SUMMARY. IF A COPY IS USED AT THE TIME OF PRESENTATION, THE
FILER MUST PROVIDE THE ORIGINAL DECLARATION WITH ORIGINAL
SIGNATURE TO CUSTOMS OFFICERS ON REQUEST.
C. THE CERTIFICATION OF THE IMPORTER THAT THE TEXTILE
DECLARATION IS ACCURATE IS REQUIRED. THE SIGNATURE SHOULD
BE ORIGINAL, BUT A COPY IS ACCEPTABLE IF IT APPLIES TO THE
INSTANT ENTRY AND THE ORIGINAL IS ON FILE AND AVAILABLE TO
CUSTOMS ON REQUEST. THE IMPORTER'S CERTIFICATION IS
REQUIRED ON ANY ENTRY THAT REQUIRES A TEXTILE DECLARATION
THAT IS REQUIRED BY CUSTOMS REGULATION 12.130(F).
