SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This collection of information provides a means to authorize 
approved imports to the U.S. to be transhipped to another destination 
instead of being imported to the U.S. as approved on an International 
Import Certificate. A triangular symbol is stamped on import 
certificates as notification that the importer does not intend to 
import or retain the items in the country issuing the certificate, but 
that, in any case, the items will not be delivered to any other 
destination except in accordance with the Export Administration 
Regulations.

II. Method of Collection

    The stamped certificate is submitted to BIS in paper form.

III. Data
