continued. On March 3 the Customs Service affirmed th Form 7529 is
used for merchandise arriving by airplane as well as by ship. On
that date we requested changes in the form to provide for
recordation of the aircraft flight number and to modify other
headings as appropriate, e.g. "date of sailing," in the fourth
column. In addition, we requested appropriate changes in the
instructions to provide for use by air carriers. On April we
received a revision to the form and instructions that does not
provide for reporting either the gross weight or the point of
origin for merchandise arriving by ai When asked why this
information was required for boat shipments, but not for airplane
shipments, no answer could be given. You are requested to submit as
soon as possible a new clearance reques that either provides for
comparable information for merchandise arrivi by ship or airplane,
or that clearly justifies why it is not appropriate for comparable
information to be reported.
