    Title: Holders or Containers which Enter the United States Duty 
Free.

[[Page 13815]]

    OMB Number: 1651-0035.
    Abstract: Item 9803.00.50 under the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of 
the United States (HTSUS), codified as 19 U.S.C. 1202, provides for the 
duty-free entry of substantial holders or containers of foreign 
manufacture if duty had been paid upon a previous importation pursuant 
to the provisions of 19 CFR 10.41b.
    19 CFR 10.41 provides that substantial holders or containers are to 
have prescribed markings in clear and conspicuous letters of such a 
size that they will be easily discernable. Section 10.41b of the CBP 
regulations eliminates the need for an importer to file entry documents 
by instead requiring the marking of the containers or holders to 
indicate the HTSUS numbers that provide for duty free treatment of the 
containers or holders.
    In order to comply with 19 CFR 10.41b, the owner of the holder or 
container is required to place the markings on a metal tag or plate 
containing the following information: 9801.00.10, HTSUS; the name of 
the owner; and the serial number assigned by the owner. In the case of 
serially numbered holders or containers of foreign manufacture for 
which free clearance under 9803.00.50 HTSUS is claimed, the owner must 
place markings containing the following information: 9803.00.50 HTSUS; 
the port code numbers of the port of entry; the entry number; the last 
two digits of the fiscal year of entry covering the importation of the 
holders and containers on which duty was paid; the name of the owner; 
and the serial number assigned by the owner.
    Current Action: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this 
information collection with no change to the burden hours or to the 
information collected.
    Type of Review: Extension (with no change).
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 20.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 18.
    Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 360.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 90.

    Dated: March 10, 2016.
