Abstract: In accordance with 19 CFR
10.24, a Foreign Assembler’s

quantity, value and description of the
imported merchandise. The declaration
is made by the person who performed
the assembly operations abroad and it
includes an endorsement by the

whether the operations performed are
within the purview of subheading

eligible for preferential tariff treatment.

the importer/assembler maintain
records for 5 years from the date of the
related entry and that they make these
records readily available to CBP for

reproduction. Instructions for
complying with this regulation are
posted on the CBP.gov Web site at:
http://www.cbp.gov/trade/tradecommunity/outreach-programs/tradeagreements/nafta/repairs-alterations/
subchpt-9802.

collection with no change to the burden
