In Title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 0 to 140, revised 
as of April 1, 2015, on page 353, Sec.  10.846 is correctly revised to 
read as follows:


Sec.  10.846  Imported directly.

    (a) Textile and apparel articles. To be eligible for duty-free 
treatment under this subpart, textile and apparel articles described in 
paragraphs (a) through (j) of Sec.  10.843 of this subpart must be 
imported directly from Haiti or the Dominican Republic into the customs 
territory of the United States. For purposes of this requirement, the 
words ``imported directly from Haiti or the Dominican Republic'' mean:
    (1) Direct shipment from Haiti or the Dominican Republic to the 
United States without passing through the territory of any intermediate 
country;
    (2) If shipment is from Haiti or the Dominican Republic to the 
United States through the territory of an intermediate country, the 
articles in the shipment do not enter into the commerce of the 
intermediate country and the invoices, bills of lading, and other 
shipping documents show the United States as the final destination; or
    (3) If shipment is through an intermediate country and the invoices 
and other documents do not show the United States as the final 
destination, the articles in the shipment are imported directly only if 
they:
    (i) Remained under the control of the customs authority in the 
intermediate country;
    (ii) Did not enter into the commerce of the intermediate country 
except for the purpose of a sale other than at retail; and
    (iii) Have not been subjected to operations other than loading and 
unloading, and other activities necessary to preserve the articles in 
good condition.
    (b) Wiring sets. To be eligible for duty-free treatment under this 
subpart, articles described in paragraph (k) of Sec.  10.843 of this 
subpart must be imported directly from Haiti into the customs territory 
of the United States. For purposes of this requirement, the words 
``imported directly from Haiti'' mean:
    (1) Direct shipment from Haiti to the United States without passing 
through the territory of any intermediate country;
    (2) If shipment is from Haiti to the United States through the 
territory of an intermediate country, the articles in the shipment do 
not enter into the commerce of the intermediate country and the 
invoices, bills of lading, and

[[Page 76630]]

other shipping documents show the United States as the final 
destination; or
    (3) If shipment is through an intermediate country and the invoices 
and other documents do not show the United States as the final 
destination, the articles in the shipment are imported directly only if 
they:
    (i) Remained under the control of the customs authority in the 
intermediate country;
    (ii) Did not enter into the commerce of the intermediate country 
except for the purpose of a sale other than at retail; and
    (iii) Have not been subjected to operations other than loading and 
unloading, and other activities necessary to preserve the articles in 
good condition.
    (c) Documentary evidence. An importer making a claim for duty-free 
treatment under Sec.  10.847 of this subpart may be required to 
demonstrate, to CBP's satisfaction, that the articles were ``imported 
directly'' as that term is defined in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this 
section. An importer may demonstrate compliance with this section by 
submitting documentary evidence. Such evidence may include, but is not 
limited to, bills of lading, airway bills, packing lists, commercial 
invoices, receiving and inventory records, and customs entry and exit 
documents.
