articles imported for exhibition at the Great Lakes Exposition or transferred thereto for exhibition, shall be reimbursed by the Great Lakes Exposition to the Government, payment to be made monthly to the collector of customs, Cleveland, Ohio, for deposit to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States as a refund to the appropriation "Collecting the revenue from customs."

(6) Articles to be entered under these regulations which arrive at ports other than Cleveland shall be entered for immediate transportation without appraisement to the latter port in the manner provided by the general customs regulations.

(7) Articles which have been admitted without payment of duty for exhibition under any tariff law and which have remained in continuous customs custody or under a customs exhibition bond may be transferred to entry for exhibition at the Great Lakes Exposition in the manner prescribed in article 446 (c) of the Customs Regulations of 1931, except that in each case an entry under paragraph 8 of these regulations shall be filed, which shall supersede any previous entry, and no new bond other than that specified in paragraph 3 shall be required. Imported articles in bonded warehouses under the general tariff law may be transferred to entry for exhibition at the Great Lakes Exposition in the manner prescribed in article 318 of the Customs Regulations of 1931, as amended by T. D. 47021 and T. D. 48505.

(8) Upon the arrival at the port of Cleveland of articles to be entered under these regulations the same should be entered on a special form of entry to read substantially as follows:

Entry for Exhibition
Entry No.

Entry at the port of Cleveland of articles consigned or transferred to the Great Lakes Exposition under ... I. T. No. --- ex S. S.

---

day of...

on the 1937, for exhibition purposes under Public Resolution No. 37 of the Seventy-fifth Congress, approved May 28, 1937.

[blocks in formation]

(9) Upon such entry being made, the collector shall issue a special permit for the transfer of the articles covered thereby to the buildings in which they are to be exhibited or used, or, in the discretion of the collector, to the appraiser's stores for examination and subsequent transfer to the buildings in which they are to be exhibited or used.

Upon the receipt of the articles at such buildings or at the appraiser's stores, the same shall be given a tentative appraisal prior to their exhibition or use. All imported exhibits so received in such buildings shall be kept segregated from domestic articles and imported dutypaid articles and shall not be removed from the exhibition building except in accordance with paragraph 11 of these regulations.

(10) If for any reason articles imported for entry under these regulations are not upon their arrival to be delivered immediately at an exhibition building, the importer should so indicate to the collector in writing, who will cause such articles to be placed in a bonded warehouse under a "general order permit" at the importer's risk and expense, and such articles may be entered at any time within one year from the date of importation for exhibition, as herein provided, or under the general tariff law, or for exportation. If not so entered within such period they will be regarded as abandoned to the Government.

(11) Any articles entered under these regulations may be withdrawn for exportation, for abandonment to the Government, destruction under customs supervision, or for consumption or entry under the general tariff law, but not otherwise, at any time during or within three months after the close of the exposition. Upon the withdrawal of such articles for consumption or for entry under the general tariff law, or at the expiration of three months after the close of the exposition in the case of articles not previously so withdrawn, they shall be appraised with due allowance made for diminution or deterioration from incidental handling or exposure. Such appraisal shall be final in the absence of an appeal to reappraisement, as provided in section 501 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (U. S. C. title 19, sec. 1501). In the case of such articles withdrawn for entry under the general tariff law under a warehouse bond or a bond conditioned upon exportation, the statutory period of the bond and any extension thereof shall be computed from the date of withdrawal.

(12) At any time during or within three months after the close of the exposition, any article entered hereunder may be abandoned to the Government or destroyed under customs supervision, as provided in article 810 of the Customs Regulations of 1931, as amended by T. D. 48099.

(13) Any articles entered under these regulations which have not been withdrawn for consumption, entry under the general tariff law, exportation, or which have not been abandoned to the Government or destroyed under customs supervision, before the expiration of three months after the close of the exposition, shall be regarded as abandoned to the Government.

(14) All entries under these regulations shall be made in the name of the Great Lakes Exposition, which shall be deemed for customs

purposes the sole consignee of the merchandise entered under the act and which shall be held responsible to the Government for all duties and/or charges due the United States on account of such entries; but, in the case of merchandise withdrawn from entry under these regulations, an entry under the general tariff law, in the name of any person duly authorized in writing by the Great Lakes Exposition to make such entry, may be accepted by the collector, and the bond of the Great Lakes Exposition shall thereafter be considered as collateral security for any duties and/or charges accruing on the merchandise covered by any such entry, unless the entry is for permanent exhibition, in which case the liability of the Great Lakes Exposition under its bond with respect to the articles covered by such entry, shall be terminated when the security required by the general tariff law has been given.

(15) The marking requirements of the Tariff Act of 1930 and the regulations promulgated thereunder will not apply to articles imported under these regulations except when such articles are withdrawn for consumption or use in the United States, in which case they shall be released from customs custody only upon a full compliance with the marking requirements of the tariff act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. No additional duty shall be assessed because such articles were not properly marked when imported into the United States.
