Amendment to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations (title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR part 7)) to eliminate the requirement that a customs officer at the port of export verify and sign CBP Form 3229, Certificate of Origin for U.S. Insular Possessions, and to require instead that the importer present this form, upon CBP's request, rather than submit it with each entry as the current regulations require. CBP believes that this amendment will streamline the entry process by making it more efficient as it will reduce the overall administrative burden on importers as well as CBP. The importer must maintain CBP Form 3229 in its possession or be subject to a recordkeeping penalty.
