Title: Drawback Process Regulations.
OMB Number: 1651-0075.
Form Number: CBP Forms 7551, 7552 and 7553.
Abstract: The collections of information related to the drawback
process are required to implement provisions of 19 CFR, part 191, which
provides for a refund of duty for certain merchandise that is imported
into the United States and subsequently exported. If the requirements
set forth in Part 191 are met, claimants may file for a refund of
duties using CBP Form 7551, Drawback Entry. CBP Form 7552, Delivery
Certificate for Purposes of Drawback, is used to record a transfer of
merchandise from a company other than the importer of record and is
also used each time a change to the imported merchandise occurs as a
result of a manufacturing operation. CBP Form 7553, Notice of Intent to
Export, Destroy or Return Merchandise for Purposes of Drawback, is used
to notify CBP if an exportation, destruction, or return of the imported
merchandise will take place. The information collected on these forms
is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1313(l). The drawback forms are accessible
at http://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms.
Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the
expiration date of this information collection with no change to the
