Overview of This Information Collection

    Title: Declaration of Unaccompanied Articles.
    OMB Number: 1651-0030.
    Form Number: CBP Form 255.
    Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the 
expiration date of this information collection with no change to the 
burden hours or the information being collected.
    Type of Review: Extension (without change).
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Abstract: CBP Form 255, Declaration of Unaccompanied Articles, is 
completed by travelers arriving in the United States with a parcel or 
container which is to be sent from an insular possession at a later 
date. It is the only means whereby the CBP officer, when the person 
arrives, can apply the exemptions or five percent flat rate of duty to 
all of the traveler's purchases.
    A person purchasing articles in American Samoa, Guam, the 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the Virgin Islands of 
the United States receives a sales slip, invoice, or other evidence of 
purchase which is presented to the CBP officer along with CBP Form 255, 
which is prepared in triplicate. The CBP officer verifies the 
information, indicates on

the form whether the article or articles were free of duty, or dutiable 
at the flat rate. Two copies of the form are returned to the traveler, 
who sends one form to the vendor. Upon receipt of the form the vendor 
places it in an envelope, affixed to the outside of the package, and 
clearly marks the package ``Unaccompanied Tourist Shipment,'' and sends 
the package to the traveler, generally via mail, although it could be 
sent by other means. If sent through the mail, the package would be 
examined by CBP and forwarded to the Postal Service for delivery. Any 
duties due would be collected by the mail carrier. If the shipment 
arrives other than through the mail, the traveler would be notified by 
the carrier when the article arrives. Entry would be made by the 
carrier or the traveler at the customhouse. Any duties due would be 
collected at that time.
    CBP Form 255 is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1202 (Chapter 98, 
Subchapters IV and XVI) and provided for by 19 CFR 145.12, 145.43, 
148.110, 148.113, 148.114, 148.115 and 148.116. A sample of this form
