TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
PART 148--PERSONAL DECLARATIONS AND EXEMPTIONS--Table of Contents
Subpart A--General Provisions
Sec. 148.1 Registration of effects to be taken abroad.
(a) Persons who may use procedure. Any person, except a nonresident
seaman, airman, or person engaged in similar employment, who intends to
take effects of foreign origin abroad may register such articles before
departure from the United States in order to facilitate their
identification on return to the United States. Only articles of foreign
origin having serial numbers or other distinctive, permanently affixed
unique markings can be registered.
(b) Procedures for registration. Applicants for registration of
articles of foreign origin shall present the articles, together with a
completed, but unsigned, Customs Form 4457, which may be obtained in
advance of departure, to a Customs officer. After the Customs officer
has examined the articles and verified their description, he shall have
the applicant sign the form. The Customs officer shall then sign the
form and return it to the applicant for presentation on return of the
articles. Customs form 4455 may be required in any case in which Customs
form 4457 will not adequately serve the purpose of registration.

(c) Presentation on return and reuse. The form shall be presented to
the Customs officer when the registered articles are returned to the
United States. The form shall be valid for reuse as long as the document
is legible to identify the registered articles.
