(2) Date and arrival time;

(3) Purpose of the visit;

(4) Name and location of the next airport to be visited; and

(5) Date and time of departure.

(e) Final airport. The international traffic permit shall be
given to the Customs officer in charge at the airport of final clearance
for a foreign destination. Before clearance is given, the Customs officer
shall make sure that the aircraft was properly inspected by Customs in the
U.S.

(f) Port of issue. The international traffic permit shall be
returned after final clearance to the director of the port where the
permit was issued, to be kept on file.

(g) Enforcement. Once the permit to proceed has been issued for
an aircraft, the director of the port of issue must receive notice that
the aircraft has made final clearance. If notice is not received within 60
days, the port director shall report the matter to the Customs agent in
