Title: Declaration of Persons Who Performed Repairs or Alterations.
OMB Number: 1651-0048.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: The ``Declaration of Persons Who Performed Repairs or
Alterations,'' as required by 19 CFR 10.8, is used in connection with
the entry of articles entered under subheadings 9802.00.40 and
9802.00.50, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Articles entered under these HTSUS provisions are articles that were in
the U.S. and were exported temporarily for repairs. Upon their return,
duty is only assessed on the value of the repairs performed abroad and
not on the full value of the article. The declaration under 19 CFR 10.8
includes information such as a description of the article and the
repairs, the value of the article and the repairs, and a declaration by
the owner, importer, consignee, or agent having knowledge of the
pertinent facts. The information in this declaration is used by CBP to
determine the value of the repairs and assess duty only on the value of
those repairs.
