Abstract: The United States is a signatory to several international Customs conventions governing cargo container and road vehicle certification procedures that specify the technical requirements that containers and road vehicles must meet to be acceptable for transport under Customs seal. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has the responsibility of administering the procedures within Title 19, Part 115 for the purpose of certifying U.S.-manufactured containers and road vehicles for use in international transport under Customs seal. The certification process involves container and road vehicle manufacturers, owners, or operators submitting applications for approval to the certifying authorities (the entities designated in 19 CFR 115.6: The American Bureau of Shipping; International Cargo Gear Bureau, Inc.; The National Cargo Bureau, Inc.). ( printed page 24895) Applications to request certification approval from the above-mentioned certifying authorities are submitted directly to these organizations on the appropriate forms ( i.e., that are created by the organizations themselves).

The certification process is voluntary for manufacturers, and therefore Part 115 does not require certification of said container and road vehicles. A certification of compliance facilitates the efficient movement of containers and road vehicles across international territories. The procedures for obtaining a certification of a container or vehicle are set forth in 19 CFR part 115.

The respondents to this information collection are members of the trade community who are familiar with CBP regulations.
