Title: Lien Notice.

Abstract: Section 564, Tariff Act of 19, as amended (19 U.S.C.
1564) provides that the claimant of a lien for freight can notify CBP
in writing of the existence of a lien, and CBP shall not permit
delivery of the merchandise from a public store or a bonded warehouse
until the lien is satisfied or discharged. The claimant shall file the
notification of a lien on CBP Form 3485, Lien Notice. This form is
usually prepared and submitted to CBP by carriers, cartmen and similar
persons or firms. The data collected on this form is used by CBP to
ensure that liens have been satisfied or discharged before delivery of
the freight from public stores or bonded warehouses, and to ensure that
proceeds from public auction sales are distributed to the lienholder.
