Application for Exportation of Articles Under Special Bond
1651-0004
A. Justification
1. Form CBP-3495, Application for Exportation of Articles Under Special Bond, is an application for exportation of articles entered under temporary bond at the port of entry or at another port of entry, pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1202, Chapter 98, subchapter XIII, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, and 19 CFR 10.38.
2. The Form CBP-3495 is used by importers (and their agents) to notify CBP that the importer intends to export goods that were subject to a duty exemption based on a temporary stay in this country. It also serves as a permit to export as to satisfy the importer's obligation to export the same goods and thereby get a duty exemption. The form is used to identify the exported goods with the original importation.
3. This form will be automated in CBP’s Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). The ACE System is still under development and the automation of the Form 3495 is planned for 2011.
4. The information on CBP-3495 is unique and is, therefore, not duplicated.
5. This information collection does not have a significant impact on small businesses.
6. The consequence to the Federal Government if CBP did not collect this information would be a loss of control of merchandise entered duty free under a temporary importation bond.
7. This information collection is conducted in a manner consistent with the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.6.
8. Public comments were solicited through two Federal Register notices: a 60-day notice dated April 3, 2007, Vol. 72, Page 15892, and a 30-day notice dated July 27, 2007, Vol. 72, Page 41341. As of this submission, no comments were received.
9. There is no offer of a monetary or material value for this information collection.
10. This information collection does not involve trade secrets.
