BACKGROUND:
IT HAS COME TO THE ATTENTION OF COMMERCIAL ENFORCEMENT THAT
SOME PORTS ARE NOT SHOWING THE CORRECT DATE FOR EXPORTATION

STATISTICAL PURPOSES, THE DATE OF EXPORTATION FOR
TEXTILES OR TEXTILE PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO SECTION 204,
AGRICULTURAL ACT OF 1956, AS AMENDED, SHALL BE THE DATE
THE VESSEL OR CARRIER LEAVES THE LAST PORT IN THE
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION.
CONTINGENCY OF DIVERSION IN ANOTHER FOREIGN TERRITORY
OR COUNTRY SHALL NOT CHANGE THE DATE OF EXPORTATION FOR
QUOTA, VISA OR EXPORT LICENSE REQUIREMENTS OR FOR
STATISTICAL PURPOSES".
IF THE COUNTRY OF EXPORTATION IS DIFFERENT FROM THE COUNTRY
OF ORIGIN, THE DATE OF EXPORT FROM THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
MUST BE REPORTED ON THE CF 7501 IN COLUMN 34, FOR ALL
TEXTILES AND TEXTILE PRODUCTS CLASSIFIED IN CHAPTERS 50-63,
PLUS CHAPTERS 42 AND 94 OF THE HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULES
OF THE UNITED STATES ANNOTATED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT
THE MERCHANDISE REQUIRES A VISA OR IS SUBJECT TO QUOTA
RESTRAINTS.
ACTION:
PORT DIRECTORS SHOULD ENSURE THAT, IF THE COUNTRY OF EXPORT
IS DIFFERENT FROM THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, THE DATE OF EXPORT
FROM THE COUNTRY OF EXPORT SHALL BE IN BLOCK 14 ON THE CF
7501 AND THE DATE OF EXPORT FROM THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN SHALL
APPEAR IN COLUMN 34 ALONGSIDE THE LINE.
